Description
The pole bean is a frost-sensitive, climbing legume that requires a climbing aid when it grows to a height of 3 m or more. Since pole beans belong to the legumes, they can go into symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Therefore, they are a good precrop for nutrient-demanding crops. Different varieties differ in color (green, pied, blue, yellow), pod size and number of seeds per pod.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Growing tips
Due to its enormous climbing tendency, at least 2 m high wooden or corrugated wire trellises are necessary. You can sow about 6-10 seeds per climbing pole at intervals of about 10 cm between seeds. There should be about 40-80 cm between the trellis poles, depending on the number of seeds per pole. By harvesting regularly (every 2-4 days) you will increase the yield. Mounding soil when young will ensure good root growth. Pole beans can serve as windbreaks for wind-sensitive crops. They have a high water requirement, but you should avoid waterlogging.
