The Cherokee Trail of Tears pole bean is a historic heirloom variety, cherished for its rich cultural significance and robust flavor. This versatile bean plant produces beautiful, deep purple pods that turn green when cooked, with black seeds inside. Maturing in about 85 days, these bush beans are ideal for both fresh eating and drying for storage. They are named in honor of the Cherokee people, who carried them on the Trail of Tears. The plants are hardy and easy to grow, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun.
The Japanese beetles found my other pole beans, but not these these have been continually producing since May I put them in in early March with some protection. It is November and we are still pulling fresh green beans off. Letting some dry with black beans in it for storage.
South Eastern US - I planted 6 seeds around a Tipi trellis mixed with Rattle Snake beans. Both took off. Drought/heat resistant. Produced continuously since June. More than enough for fresh eating, saving, and dried beans. Will not use any other bean/combo.
This is my first year growing beans. I stuck 4 in the ground and did nothing after that. They are covered with large heavy pods. Several are already drying out and I am saving to plant a whole wall of them next year. I did not have any bug problems with them at all and I live in zone 7a in the Shenandoah mountains with lots of rain this year.
I plant these every year and they always produce an abundance of beans. Just 2 packs of seeds grows enough beans for my home canning projects plus several quarts of frozen beans for my oldest daughter's family. This is a must have for my garden.
So far so good
