On an English forum at the moment they are raving reviews about some Serbian Pole beans someone had and gave a few to his friends, apparently they crop with an immense crop of beans and are very tender and succulent-very good flavor, and are getting rave reviews all over the place,

I am trying to negotiate for a few of these seeds later on when this crop is harvested.

Has anyone here ever heard of or grown Serbian Pole beens before.

12-15 ft tall plants fairly loaded to the top with flattish pods about 1/2 -3/4" wide, x 6" long x 1/2 thick with 7- 9 or more beans. We are growing them out for seed and dried beans but looks like they could be a winner if picked earlier. Definitely one I would use for dilled beans.

Serbian pole beans are in the lineup there.
