MBOMBO GREEN BEAN

Amazing Emerald-Toned Seeds! Five- to six-inch pods yield kidney shaped, bright emerald green dry beans and are delicious in soups or eaten as a green bean. Drought and heat tolerant, the bean originated in Kenya where its name, Mbombo, is an African tribal association to the Creator God of the same name. The bean is thought to be a sign of prosperity and brings good fertility to the soil, as well as to the people. Great for a trellis or small fence. This pole to semi-pole bean is brought to us by Stephen Smith from his colorful bean collection.
