I was lucky to get seeds for this variety from Chriscross over on A4A. A very rare bean from the Mennonite religious groups in USA and what a beauty. The weight of the crop had pulled the plants over and after photos were taken I had to reinforce their supports. The beans are huge and very fat with it. Yet even the largest beans remains tender. I think they are best eaten as yummy green beans. Chris himself only grows them for the seeds. I love how few pods need to be picked for a meal.
3 photos, one of them showing the rather unusual different colours of two adjacent beans on the same truss. This does happen with this bean, seen it before, but this too is rare.
