Description: These easy-to-pick, straight and tender snap beans are yellow with green tips. They are excellent in flavour and have a crisp texture. Ideal for pickling or fermenting as well as for fresh eating or steaming. Gold Rush has a shorter peak-harvest window compared to some beans, but they hold well. You can also plant them in succession for continual peak harvest during the active growing season. Pods are 4 - 5” long.
