| Variety is short pole, only grew four feet up trellis, most of beans in the first two feet. Flavor is acceptable, not outstanding. I think that Kentucky Wonder pole or Blue Lake Pole are both better beans than this cross. |

| **I think this variety is mis-named. I'm assuming what is meant is "Kentucky Wonder," as a bean with this name is missing from the list.**
A good tasting bean with very good yields. Can get a bit big and stringy if left on the vine too long. I personally prefer Kentucky Blue, the cross between Kentucky Wonder and Blue Lake. |
