White Czar

A fine, bold white flowering runner bean, not as prolific as scarlet runners. The pods are hairy not smooth, young pods are long, fine, tender, mild flavoured for use as green beans. If left to dry it will produce a crop of plump, fine tasting, beautiful white butter beans. An heirloom cultivar that we almost lost, originally gifted by Elaine Wilson, recuperated by Cesar Zapata (Wellington). Cesar reported rogues in the original seed he received from us: some red flowering plants which he rouged, and some with smooth pods, which he has separated and is cultivating as a new variety. From Paul Broady, 2018; Ross Lill, 2018; Paul Broady, 2017; Paul Broady, 2016; Ross Lill, 2016.
