Description
This stringless bush green bean has been around since 1885. It grows a little taller (45cm) than other bush beans, and the production was very good despite the drought and heat wave that saw daytime temps above 45C and 27C nights. I will grow these again, hopefully under normal summer conditions and fill the freezer. Good bean taste. Pods are meaty and are just under 15cm long. Brown seeds.

How to germinate “Landreth” bush bean seeds:
Start 4-6 weeks before last frost. Deep containers for good roots. Soak seed 24 hours. Germinate at 28 C for spouts in 3-5 days. Cool conditions at 2nd true leaf stage give sturdy plants. Never overwater. Meanwhile make large sturdy trellis for beans to grow on. Prefers full sun, deep fertile well-draining moist soil.
