These tender gourmet beans are refined and straight, with rich flavour. The medium dark green, round pods grow 13-18cm (5-7”) long. They have a longer set period with consistent quality, producing later into the season than other varieties. Jade has resistance to Bean Common Mosaic Virus, Rust, and Curly Top Virus. The pods are held off the ground by stout branches. Jade needs warmer soil to germinate, so delay planting until well after the last frost date.

| Starting | Sow seeds 2-5cm (1-2″) deep, 5-8cm (2-3″) apart, in rows 45-60cm (18-24″) apart. Thin to at least 15cm (6″) apart in each row. If the weather is too wet, beans can also be started in pots indoors and set out carefully a few weeks later. For a continuous harvest, plant at 3 week intervals. |
| Growing | Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Well drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Raised beds help with both drainage and warmth. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row. Too much nitrogen fertilizer is often the cause of poor pod set and delayed maturity. If the plants flower but do not set pods, the cause may be zinc deficiency. Try spraying the plants with kelp-based fertilizer. Wet leaves on crowded plants are subject to diseases. Thin plants to increase air circulation and avoid touching the leaves while they are wet. |
