Pole Beans
Reviewed By: Jonathan Bechard (Clifton, Kansas)
Very stringy and kind of mushy after cooked. Plants produce a lot of beans but they don't taste that good. I'm sticking with bush beans next year.

Reviewed By: Lisa (Two Harbors, Minnesota)
I have grown beans for many years now, normally bush beans, I thought I would try pole beans once, I'm very sorry I did, I live in zone 4 and I couldn't get these beans to take off for nothing, I normally have more beans then I know what to do with, I think for the 20 seeds I planted I ended up with maybe 2 dozen beans, I will be going back to the push beans.
