This pole bean produces round, straight pods with a distinctive hook at the end and average 15cm (6") long. Matilda is a heavily productive variety from German breeding with a sweet and mild flavour. Plants are vigorous, productive, and early, but will produce all season long if you keep them well picked. We took harvest after harvest over a long period in summer during our seed trials. The pods have a nice crunch and good flavour raw, cooked, or pickled. They even stand up to blanching and freezing for winter use if any of the summer crop makes it that far.
