Berens

Long flat pod, tender and good flavor, bears over a long period. Seed color is brown. The 2010 crop produced several different seed colors. Seeds produced in 2013 from seeds in long term storage produced the correct seed color and seeds grown from the 2013 crop in 2014 also have the correct color. The 2015 seed crop contained only seeds with the right color and all of the plants had short runners that produced late maturing pods extending the harvest season. David Thompson told me that this bean has an unusual ability to produce green beans over a long period of time. David Thompson told me this seed came to Dickinson County, Iowa in a covered wagon.. Must Reoffer. See my profile for more details.
