Winnebago, Wisconsin, United States
Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days
Soil Texture: Loam
Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40')
Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day

Very early pole wax (about 60 days), I picked these the same time as my first zucchini. Vines are strong climbers to 6-7 feet, with little branching. Pods are flat bright-yellow Romano-type, 8-9" long, very good eaten out-of-hand or fresh cooked, but poor quality frozen. While the yield is heavy early, it is not sustained over as long a period as most pole beans; the vines are reluctant to resprout. Best for an early bean crop, or where it will be followed by a fall planting of other vegetables.

This Romano pole bean type is similar in growth and size to Musica and Helda pole beans except it is yellow and a bit milder in taste. Excellent yields and taste.
