Logan Giant Pole Bean (30 Seeds)

This is a popular pole bean originating in West Virginia bearing very large meaty pods. It is quite late with vigorous vines. Pods are 6-7 inches long and get very lumpy. Somewhat similar to both ‘Spangler’ and ‘Turkey Craw’ but has a unique chewy pod texture and pods are not as fat as ‘Spangler’ or as high quality as ‘Turkey Craw’, based on taste tests I’ve performed. When picked “full” after seeds are plump, pods require de-stringing like most heirloom beans, but I was not impressed by the flavor. Perhaps it is better picked younger as a snap bean. Yields are reputedly very high for this variety but I found it only produced one or two pickings. However the cooked dry bean flavor was remarkably delicious, sweet and reminiscent of hickory nuts. Seeds show slightly variable color shades but all have the “frosted” speckling characteristic of the variety. Original seedstock obtained from Betty Flanagan who stewarded this variety for many years in Randolph County, WV. 90 days from sowing to picking. Seeds produced in Morgantown, WV. Germination 100% 12-3-2023. 30 seeds (sows 10 ft row)
