This variety impressed in 2017. Pods were long, straight, and held pretty well on plant before getting too plump. Yields were on the high-end and I got a good 3-4 weeks of picking before quality and yield started deteriorating. Plants were sturdy and never toppled over as is sometimes the case with bush beans.
