Bean Super Marconi (57-30)
Pole Roma. This is the Roma type bean seen all over Italy in markets. Beans will grow to 10 inches and remain tender. You can begin picking them at 5-6 inches. Very meaty. Makes a wonderful bean salad. Like all pole beans, keep picking to encourage continued production. 65 days or so to harvest. A vigorous climber, it will need support: use trellis, tripods or single poles at least 7 feet tall. Pole beans are much more productive in a tight garden space over a longer period, than bush beans. Plant after soil has warmed up well, since seeds are not treated. Plant 3-4 seeds around base of each pole or 2 seeds every six inches for trellis. Thin to one/six inches for trellis, 2 plants for poles. 30 grams. Approximately 40 seeds. Pole beans have approximately 1 seed per gram.

Growing these every year since 1985.
These grow fast and produce abundantly. Freeze and dry great every winter while eating them all summer.

Tender and delicious
Growing this bean up in Kula on Maui. They are very sweet and tender. Better than any other bean I have tried.

great producer
I have grown this variety for 3 seasons in Massachusetts. It always is a big producer. The variety resists rust well. The beans can get huge but I find them better under 10 inches. For something different stew them with some tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
