Characteristics:
Developed a the University of Tennessee. Continuous set for 3 or 4 hand harvests.
I first tried these 3 years ago side by side to the white half runner beans I purchased. The results were indisputable. The Volunteer bean grew faster and produced beans a week before the white half runners. For that year, the Volunteer beans out produced the white half runner beans by a greater than 2-1 margin. In addition, the volunteer beans produced only a handful of flat beans, where as the white half runners produced entire sections of half runners. I suggest trying it out for yourself. I will only plant Volunteer half runner beans in the future.
volunteer half runners are a great white half runner. Fewer strings, although there are someand they have almost none of the flat tough beans that can occur with hot weather. That means many pickings off the same vines. ,
These beans have none of the flat tough beans that a lot of half runners have. They have great flavor also .
Super productive. Must trellis. Harvest through frost. Great germination.
I was about to give up on growing green beans as I could never obrtain good germination. These beans were almost 100% germination and the vines are growing beautifully. Hope to see blooms soon and beans in a few weeks. I am so pleased.
Great service and very prompt shipping on online orders. Will order from them again.
