Old Time Golden Stick Pole Bean Seeds

An American heirloom bean, original seeds are from a 100 year old lady in Fentress County, Tennessee. A very early maturing bean, pods are fat and shorter. I’m not sure if these beans can be eaten as snaps, though in the area they hail from beans like these are often eaten with partially formed seeds. I suspect that these beans can be eaten this way. Seeds are a rich caramel colour. A rare variety. 2023 seed.  Gratefully received from the wonderful collection of Russ Crow, Woodstock, Illinois.
