Why Choose Bean Pole Yard Long Python?

• Heirloom Seed: Passed down through generations for at least 75 years for reliable harvests and authentic flavor.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA structure has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.
• Exceptional 16–20″ Pods: Dramatically longer than conventional pole beans — fewer plants, more food per square foot, and a stunning visual impact at harvest.
• Stringless & Sweet: Smooth, glossy, stringless pods with a sweet, rich flavor profile — outstanding for stir-frying, steaming, and fresh eating.
• Heat Tolerant: Exceptionally well-suited to warm and hot climates — thrives where other beans struggle, making it a top choice for Southern and summer gardens.
• Heavy Continuous Yields: Vigorous vines produce abundantly throughout the season — the more you pick, the more they produce.
• Space-Efficient Vertical Growth: Tall-growing vines maximize limited garden space — ideal for trellises, fences, and vertical gardens.
• Easy to Grow: Forgiving of small mistakes — a great choice for beginner and experienced gardeners alike.

Planting Tips for Success

• When to Plant: Direct sow outdoors after last frost when soil temps reach 65°F. In Texas and warm climates, best planted late spring through early summer for peak production.
• Sunlight: Full sun — at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Thrives in hot summer conditions.
• Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Beans fix their own nitrogen — avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep, 4–6 inches apart.
• Spacing: Space rows 24–36 inches apart.
• Watering: Water consistently, about 1 inch per week. Avoid overhead watering to reduce disease risk.
• Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or sturdy pole at least 8–10 feet tall. Python vines are vigorous climbers — solid support is essential for maximum yield.
• Fertilizing: Beans fix their own nitrogen — a balanced starter fertilizer at planting is sufficient.
• Harvesting: Pick pods at 16–20 inches while still tender and before seeds bulge — about 80 days. Frequent harvesting encourages continuous production.
