Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of breeding using the genetics of the climbing common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The plant is a climbing vine reaching 3–4 meters in height and requires mandatory support.

The pods are smooth and fleshy, reaching a length of 25–30 cm, and are characterized by a reduced fiber content. Due to the inclusion of common bean genetics, the variety is capable of self-pollination, which ensures stable yields even under unfavorable weather conditions.

The plant is used for the production of young pods (green beans) consumed whole. The variety also possesses ornamental qualities and is used in vertical landscaping.
