(Pioneer Pole Bean, Ram’s Head Bean, Kahnawake Mohawk Bean)
This annual climbing bean is an heirloom Iroquois cultivar that dates back to prehistory. We are always looking for truly vigorous climbers, and this one satisfied us–they grew fast and tall! This type is also among the most productive of pole beans, with flat pods 5 inches long that quickly plump up. We cleaned out 10 lbs of dry beans from a 50 foot row. These are a pinto type, which are best dried and cooked up for chili or for tacos, beans and rice, beans and corn, etc. They store indefinitely. Plant prefers full sun, rich soil and a trellis or corn stalks to climb upon. In the spring, after the soil has truly warmed up, plant seeds 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart or in hills 7 seeds to a hill. Harvest in the autumn, when the pods become crinkly-dry and beige in color.

Amazingly vigorous plants grew well all season and produced a large amount of beans from a small section of plants. This variety will be a permanent addition to my garden!

Hi! Thanks for your interest in Mohawk Pole. It is indeed a heavy yielder and we have saved enough seeds to plant again once this very cold and rainy weather settles into summer. We still have plenty of Cherokee Trail of Tears, Kentucky Wonder and a dwindling supply of Anasazi Cave beans in stock–all these can be expected to perform much like the mohawk pole beans. richo

How tall does this bean grow in ideal conditions? I’d like to plant with corn but want to make sure it doesn’t get too tall.

the first year we grew them we grew them on a 5-foot-tall piece of stockwire. It grew well that way. They will size themselves to the trellis. r
