I have really admired this Jade bean. A small 3' x 3' plot has supplied me in green beans for a couple of months.
The vine is a sturdy upright plant allowing the beans to grow straight and clean. The beans have no strings and are still tender and tasty even when the older ones have been overlooked.
The fall planting was successful. I have ordered more seeds and will try succession planting the next spring.

Very reliable bush bean, heavy producer, and easy to pick off the vines. The pale green seeds stay tender longer into the season than other beans. Perfect size and straight shape for putting up beans in pint jars. Good for pickling as well.
