An excellent all-around green bean, Desperado produces medium green, uniform, straight, unblemished pods, 5–5 ½ inches long. Picking is easy, as the plants set these very tasty, sweet beans very high in double and triple nodes. Adaptable plants show good tolerance to heat and stress. Brown seed (a small percentage of white seed exist, which will produce genetically identical plants); 105 per ounce. HR: BMV.
