90 days for dry, pole bean. This multipurpose Iroquois heirloom can be eaten dry, or as snap beans when the green pods are young. Originally from Quebec, these are named for the Iroquois name for the region- Kahnawake. They make a food of substance- we just love how large the beans are and how productive the plants! Plants get quite tall, growing up to 12 feet, and need trellising.
