About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The ‚Fortex’ bean is a filet or princess bean that you can harvest for a long time without the pods becoming stringy or tough. The thin, dark green pods reach easily 20 to 25 cm and stay tender and fine‑porous. If you like fine beans, let them grow a bit larger. It yields early, rich, and virus‑tolerant over many weeks.
You will find it extraordinarily tender and fine‑porous, with a full, almost sweet aroma, a bean for connoisseurs.
