A very good cropping broad bean that stays green when cooked. Valuable in cold areas. Sow in autumn or early spring and transplant at 25 cm in two rows per bed. The growing tips and leaves are good to eat, and picking the tips directs energy into filling the beans. Came to New Zealand with Scottish settlers in 1863 and was kept at Waimate.
