Bean Derby
1990 AAS Edible - Vegetable Winner
Bean Derby

Derby green beans have long, straight, round pod that remains tender with excellent eating quality up to 7 inches in length. While harvesting the gardener will notice how easily the pods slip from the stem without the pedicel. The overall yield is above average, but due to the holding quality, gardeners can be assured of a successful harvest.
