Organic Listing
Previously listed as Striped Cornfield. Did poorly in ideal evenly-rainy 2014 summer but had the highest seed yield of all my pole beans, in the shade directly under a large hickory, in hot dry 2016, 2017. and 2020. Green pods, leathery and curled when dry and up to 5 1/2" (if uncurled) x 3/8", with 7-8/pod mottled cream/tan brown-striped seeds. 10-25 seeds (specify how many) from 2020 or earlier. 100% germination of 5 year seed. In 2020 it volunteered in a bucket of composting bean shells and one seed produced 26 pods under the hickory.
