Harvester Green, Bush Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
The harvester bean has tender pods growing as long as 6”. The bean pods are high off the ground for easy picking. The plant is very hardy and grows very straight. Harvest early for stringless beans. They live up to their name, and you will need a harvester to bring the crop in. They are very easy to grow and also resistant to most bean diseases. Many growers use a mechanical harvester to harvest bush green beans instead of picking by hand.
