Beans, Beurre du Rocquencourt

(50 days) - Phaseolus vulgaris  

Yellow wax beans came across the Mediterranean from Algeria in the early 1800’s. This variety became a mainstay in French Market gardens in Rocquencourt, which is a town near Versailles by 1840.  Abundant yields from bush plants of bright yellow pods are quick to mature and have a fine, tender flavor.  Its flavor is considered the best of the wax beans.  SSF.
