Cherry Pit Pole Bean Seeds

Known as the ‘Chriesistei’ pole bean in Switzerland, this is a traditional Swiss heirloom variety from the Canton of Aargau, known for its distinct, cherry-colored seeds. The bean is a traditional variety specific to the Aargau region of Switzerland, with different local strains. The Swiss organization ProSpecieRara (which focuses on preserving rare and endangered heritage plants and animals) currently logs four varieties of the Chriesistei bean in its database: Chriesi-Stei, Chriesistei Boniswil, Chriesistei Dintikon, and Chriesistei Reinach.”  A wonderfully high yielding dry bean variety of excellent quality.
