Poletschka

Very productive. Most of my plants were lost early in the season to rabbits. They still managed to outproduce almost all of my other pole beans. "Pole. Early and prolific. Vines to 8 feet. Produced 6 inch pods contained up to 7 shiny black seeds. Best as a dry bean, but also can be used as a shelling or snap bean when young. These little roundish beans are a very pretty, shiny black or very dark purple. Ukrainian heirloom. Source: IL CR R."
