Bean Pole Seychelles is an All America Selections award-winning pole bean that combines exceptional productivity with superior eating quality and disease resistance. The vigorous 7 to 9-foot vines produce abundant trusses of uniform, stringless pods measuring 5 to 7 inches—long enough to harvest at the tender-snap stage yet substantial enough for mature shell beans if left on the vine. The pods themselves are standout performers: a rich dark green that holds its color through cooking, with crisp, tender flesh and a mild, refined bean flavor. Raw, they offer satisfying crunch in salads; cooked, they develop a meaty texture while maintaining structural integrity and visual appeal. The plant's vigorous growth habit and prolific flowering ensure continuous harvests over an extended season, with multiple pods maturing simultaneously on easy-access trusses that minimize picking fatigue. This variety demonstrates proven resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus (BCMV) and anthracnose, reducing disease pressure in humid climates and lowering management inputs. Harvest in about 60 days.
