macmex rdback heavyhitterokra and anyone else. Has anyone grown Yellow Indian Woman bush bean? I am curious about this bean. Yes I know, stop laughing. I realize I don’t need another bean project. I’m just curious if it grows well in the heat. The beans reminded me of Mayacoba beans which I love. Besides EVERYONE needs just one more bean!

I had to search for a photo of them because I had never heard of them. I bet they would be good...(laughter predominately stifled)

I hadn't heard of it either. Here's a link to it with Caribbean Garden Seed Company, of which I had not heard before either. I suspect it's a fairly resilient bean if, as the link notes, that it has been passed on among Native Americans for quite a long time. Hard to say about extreme heat tolerance. The only way to know that is to try it if... we can find someone to do that... LOL!

Sounded familiar, so I looked in my notes. Sure enough. In 2011 I purchased these from a commercial source. Here's what I wrote:
Originally grown by Native Americans in Montana. This runner style pole bean is light yellow in color and is very flavorful. Holds it's shape well in slow cooked dishes. POLE (100% Failure)
So, I TRIED to grow them, but failed. Also notice the description says "POLE", not bush. I wish they hadda produced.

Ain't that bean from the Swedes? Are there any more true origins of it and where it actually came from?
