Runner Bean
Brooker Beans
Our donor has known of this variety since the 1940s as her family have always grown them, preserving the beans by salting. A robust variety that can be sown in the glasshouse for an early crop, or outdoors as late as July and still achieve a good yield of tender beans that only become stringy when over-mature. Shows some frost tolerance too.
