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.
I planted a row of these and nearly every last bean sprouted up into a beautiful plant, practically overnight! In less than a week I had close to twenty plants that were already three or four inches tall. Incredible. Can't wait for them to fully mature and reap the harvest. Thank you again, MIGardener!
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.

I've been using Trifecta for over a year with amazing results. It's so simple! Apply once or twice a season and that's it.
Trifecta has been my trusted partner in the garden for my vegetables and to start my dahlias. Thank you MI Gardener team!
Fantastic Zucchini!! Very tender tasty and huge :)))
As described. Good germination.
We have nice fertile soil in our greenhouse and able to control those pesty little flea beetles that can decimate eggplants foliage. I've been keeping them under control with DE and my eggplants are massive in size, about 3-4 feet tall with 1 foot lower leaves.
The eggplants fruit are developing nicely, nearly doubling in size daily. There are plenty of blossoms too. We're expecting that we won't need to grow more for a few years, we're planning on freeze drying most if them.
