Phaseolus vulgaris
Lot#BD23038
The Tenderette bean is an old heirloom with some historians fixing the date as far back as 8,000 BC. The bush plant grows to 45-61cm (18-24”) in height with a 51-61cm (20-24”) spread. It produces a mild, very rich flavoured, succulent bean that averages between 10-15cm (4-6”) long. They are best harvested when they are no larger than a pencil in thickness.

Additional Information
Avoid planting in soil that stays consistently damp or wet. We generally plant 3-4 rows at a time and space out rows at 20-25cm (8-10”) apart. It is perfect because most people can reach across that width. You can grow 3-4 times the amount of heirloom beans in the same space, you reduce the amount of area for weeds, and you'll save on water. It is about 55 days for young tender green beans. Regular harvesting of the young pods will ensure a greater yield. |
