Zinck Pole Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) Jack and the Beanstalk could have been inspired by these magical beans. This Nova Scotian family heirloom was gifted to us in 2017 from Merle & Elaine Zinck of Lunenburg County, NS. The Zinck family has known no other bean for over 75 years! This is a very prolific pole bean yielding many 7-9” green beans. ‘Zinck’ beans are vigorous and high yielding. This bean can be planted earlier in the spring than other pole beans. Delicious fresh, cooked, frozen, or dried for shell beans.
65-70 days to maturity
40 seed per packet
Planting Instructions: Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to 15C. Plant seeds 1" deep and space 2–3" apart in rows 18–36" apart. Keep soil evenly moist during germination. Bush beans prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Plants require sturdy support such as trellises or poles.
