I had great success with these in my 2024 season. I grew 6 plants, and they were vigorous! I ate the first flush of beans fresh, and let the rest dry on the vines. I got 3lbs of dried beans! These will be a part of my garden every year. Fantastic bean.

This bean variety did best in my garden last year. I will absolutely be growing them again this year.

I'm growing in Ohio Zone 6B. Last year, I paired two pole bean varieties on a zig-zagging bamboo terrace: Cherokee and Good Mother Stallard. These varieties pair well because the pods look very different (with long-thin pods that dry to red/purple on the Cherokee and flatter pods that dry to yellow/brown for Good Mother Stallard), so it's easy to tell which bean you are harvesting. The Cherokee beans were the more productive of the two, and though the beans are smaller, there were more beans per pod (usually five to eight). These are good black beans that hold their shape during cooking better than dried black beans from the grocery store. This would be a great starter variety if you want to try growing your own dried beans.

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.
