Maxibel Bush Bean Seeds

Description

The first full-sized stringless filet

Days to Maturity: 59 from direct sow

Bush Bean

This is the elegant bean you see in European-style restaurants. Most filets available from seed are miniatures, but Maxibel sets long, slender pods packed with all the "gourmet" flavor you expect. As easy to grow as other snaps, Maxibel arises on tall, erect plants that harvest easily.

These 7- to 7½-inch pods are stringless and very slender, with a dark green color, straight form, and mouth-watering tender flavor. The first full-size stringless filet bean to reach the market also happens to be the best for succulent flavor and texture.

Maxibel arises on bush-habit plants that set their crops all at once, which simplifies the canning and freezing process. But for nonstop fresh eating all season, simply succession-sow the seeds, beginning when the soil warms in spring and continuing every 2 to 3 weeks into early summer. You will never be without a new crop of delicious beans to enjoy.

Easy and trouble free, even for the new gardener, this snap bean is widely adapted across the U.S., and is compact in the garden. For best harvest, succession-plant every 3 weeks or so from early spring till late summer (avoiding the worst summer heat in warm areas). You can also sow seeds in late summer for a fall harvest.

Maxibel is a legume, so be sure to chop up the plant and plow it back into the soil after harvesting the crop. Legumes are nitrogen fixers in the soil, greatly improving the performance of your garden. Your plants next season will benefit from this year's crop of Maxibel beans, too.

Hardier than pole beans, bush snaps can be direct sown after all danger of frost.

Germination good

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

The germination of my Maxibel was good with the entire row. Plants are tall as they are starting to take off .. not sure how tall they should be getting.

Best Green Beans

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

These are the best green beans I've ever grown. Long, skinny and tender and so easy to pick, realeasing easily with a slight tug. And the best part of all......they are stringless!
