New varieties really have to hold their own before we champion them over longstanding customer favourites. When we saw the cropping potential of Climbing Bean Mamba we knew we were on to a future favourite! Our Mamba trial crops have consistently produced double the yield of Cobra, with no reduction in flavour or pod quality. Mambas mid-green, stringless pods are larger, more uniform and carried in clusters for easy picking. Plants are slightly less vigorous than Cobra, but this is a bonus - growth is more manageable, taking up less space, and the plants will perform better in large patio pots than most other varieties. Height: 1.8m When growing beans, hoe between plants often and water regularly. Provide a compost mulch around the base of bean plants to combat dry periods. For the best crops harvest beans regularly while the pods are still young. Culinary note: Suitable for freezing. Caution: Cook climbing beans before eating to avoid discomfort. Ideal For: Kitchen Garden . Hardiness:
