Dry Beans - Pole Habit

Pole beans are perfect for the urban gardener or those wanting to grow more beans using less space. They typically take a few weeks longer to mature as compared to bush beans but are less susceptible to late-season mold, because the pods are not in contact with the soil. Varieties grow 6-8 feet tall and require trellising. Packets are 1 ounce.

Dry Pole Bean - Cherokee Trail of Tears (Certified Organic)

Also known as Cherokee Black, the variety is good as both a snap and a dry bean; when mature, the greenish-purple 6” pods encase shiny jet-black seeds. This bean was originally shared with Seed Savers Exchange by the late Dr. John Wyche of Hugo, Oklahoma. His Cherokee ancestors carried this bean over the Trail of Tears, the infamous winter death march from the Smoky Mountains to Oklahoma (1838-39) that left a trail of 4,000 graves. Pole habit, snap or dry. Later to mature than most of the others we carry but but handles the fall rains well andstill one of our favorites.
