" ....have you seen a very tall bean vine? "
No, we grew our pole beans on a 6-foot fence and they quickly grew to the top of it and then grew along the fence. I am sure they would have easily grown to the top of a 12-foot fence, but they wouldn't have been in the same league with the record breaking beans. And, as Elaine pointed out, it would have been impractical to pick them at an excessive height.

I suppose that is why it is fun to fly a kite.
