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 has green pods that turn purple when dried with black seeds inside. Maturing in about 85 days, these pole 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.
Items were as ordered. Will buy from again. Highly recommend. Fast delivery!
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.

I was so excited to receive this bare root raspberry! I followed the directions that came with the plant and planted in a 20lbs grow bag. After a week and a half I saw new growth and within a week it new growth points. Can’t wait to taste/see the fruit.
This guide is full of great information for the dormant plants. This is our first year starting these plants and also using your seeds for our plants and have had huge success with everything from MIgardener. I have watched several videos and have found so much information. Thank you!
I'm giving this 5 stars because I've grown them before... however when my seeds arrived, I left them unattended on our dining room table while I went outside to collect eggs... and my puppy helped herself to the packet.
My fault- the carrots were awesome the year I previously grew them... I'll just miss out this year- no biggie! 🤣
Well, they just started to came out of the ground. But so far they looked great!! Just happy with them. And you can’t beat the price!!! Thank you for all that y’all do for us gardeners!!
i was pleased with my order. planted the tomatoes and now under grow lights. almost every seed germinated, super excited to get them in the ground in a couple weeks
