Overall Taste Yield Ease	Dane, Wisconsin, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
This pole bean grows great. After plants reaches the top of your trellis top them. They then bush out more. The 12 foot row I plant have straight pods. Prefect for the quart size canning jar. The harvest was huge 35 lbs or more. They didn\'t seem to get over size very fast but were fast to mature.

Overall Taste Yield Ease	Branch, Michigan, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20') Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day
The only year these beans have not done well is one in whivch we used too much composted water weed/manure. This caused too much plant, too little produce.
