I have grown this bean several years in the north Georgia mountains. First it is not a bush bean as it will vine for 12 or 15 feet. The vines are highly productive and the beans are excellent at all stages. The immature green bean has a robust delicious green bean flavor, snapped. The mature, easy to shell beans, are great fresh or dried. Easy to see and pick when trellised; these beautiful beans are a sensation at the farmers market and with local chefs.
