Hi Allan,

I've grown Fortex for years with great success. It produces really quality virtually stringless, LONG, slender pods over a long season - by far my best fresh "string bean." I like this one so much I now grow it in my kitchen garden. A word of caution, however, these guys don't can of freeze particularly well. The very thing that makes them great fresh and keeps them holding in the garden well- lack of strings and low fiber - makes them unsuitable for "putting up." I like Musica as a Romano.

Marcie
