(Pole Bean) - A Nova Scotia family heirloom. Brought to Canada from Italy by Santo Luigi Tonello. Santo and his wife Yolanda settled in Liverpool, NS in 1921 and on a return visit to Italy they brought back a small handful of these beans tucked in his shirt pocket. They've been thriving here ever since! A very prolific pole bean with large flat pods (green when small, maturing to yellow) and large shiny black seeds. A great multi-use bean, equally good fresh and dry. 30-50 seeds (15 g)
