Blue Jay's 2022 Bean Show - Day 30
Weaver - Pole Snap - 2022
I had grown this variety back in the early 1980's and listed it a number of times back then in the Seed Savers Exchange yearbook. It is still to this day another of my favorite pole snap beans. Very productive with white blossoms of 7 to 8 inch long flattened stringless green pods. This year was my fifth grow out since 2013 of the bean. Developed by the C.H Weaver Company of Brawley, California probably in the 1930's. Dry seed said to make a good soup bean. 8 plants this year produced 29.30 ounces (830.64 gm). This year I had a celebrity request of this bean as author, food historian and owner of the Roughwood Seed Collection Willam Woys Weaver requested this seed from me in April of this year. He now shows Weaver on the Roughwood Center For Heritage Seedways by clicking on Shop then load more until you find Weaver near the bottom of that page. I have not had a single off type seed from Weaver since growing the bean the past decade.
