The said plant is now about 8 ft tall. I am not sure if it will grow any more as the stem has a kink where it reached the top of the tunnel and started growing over to the other side. It seems to have the habit of “the sutton” in that it has beans growing very close together on the stem but they are up to 10 inches long. I will be saving some seed but unfortunately I have already promised seed to others. Perhaps next year if it comes true I can let you have some. There is a picture on the letters page of Amateur Gardening this week but the photograph was taken back in April and it was nowhere near as tall as it is now.
