Pole Beans. Pole beans grow to heights of 10 feet or more and require staking. Many prefer the increased size and rich flavor of pole beans to that of bush beans. However, they require more time to reach maturity. Pole beans, such as Kentucky Wonder and Kentucky Blue, produce tender green pods that mature in 65 to 75 days. Half-runner beans, such as Mountaineer and Mountaineer White, reach a height of approximately 3 feet and benefit from trellising. These green beans are a cross between bush beans and pole beans.
Some of the more popular fall bush bean varieaties are TopCrop, Tendercrop, and Contender. The varieties Greencrop and Romano are bush forms of the popular pole beans. If you insist on planting pole beans, and space and time permit, try a planting of the pole varieties Kentucy Wonder, Blue Lake, and Dade. All three of these varieties produce high yields of excellent quality beans. Lima beans, a popular garden item in many Texas areas, like warmer soils to germinate.
