This high-yielding bean is an early variety and has a high yield of fleshy very long pods of 26 - 28 cm in length. The beans are a bit late to grow. The dark green, straight pods hang free and can be quickly and easily harvested. These new runner beans taste very flavourful, even after cooking, canning or freezing. 'Eva' is naturally resistant to all major bean diseases. The new breed is suitable both for early harvesting outdoors and in the greenhouse.
