Description: Plants produce plentiful harvests of flat pods with rounded edges that are tender and smooth. Fruit set occurs high on the 21" tall bush, making for easy harvesting.
This flat bean is known as a Kentucky Wonder type, which originally came out as a pole bean and was later developed into a bush bean.
The pod is not as wide as the Roma II but it is thicker and juicier. White seeds.
