| A.k.a "Pepa de Zapallo". 80 days to dry. Rangy bush, moderate branching, sometimes throws out one 2-3 foot runner. Seeds are very large in the green-shelled stage, tender & delicious. Dry seed beautiful, ochre yellow w/ concentric maroon swirls, 58 per ounce. A high quality bean, which others have reported as productive... but for me, the yield was disappointing. |
