I was trying to find some information on the “Black Mandan beans” that I got at a seed swap this spring and found two results from Canada for “Black Mandan Pole Bean”. Heritage Harvest says it is an Oscar Will variety from North Dakota which makes sense. https://heritageharvestseed.com/products/mandan-black-bean-seeds
Revival says it is also known as “Hopi Black”, which the Hopi are quite a ways away from the upper Missouri and I don’t know that Oscar picked up any Southwestern beans. So I wonder what the story is. The ones I planted did not come up as far as I can tell, at least there is not anything on that trellis with purple pods,
