About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
One of the most reliable early varieties for the home garden: Witkiem Manita grows away briskly after sowing and delivers the first fat pods as early as June. At around 90 cm the plants stay pleasantly sturdy and crop heavily. If you want to start harvesting early, this is your variety.
Young beans taste tender and mild, almost buttery. The earlier you pick, the finer the skin around the individual beans stays.
