Calima French Filet Bush Beans
Discover the refined taste and elegant appearance of Bean Calima, a bush bean variety that matures in a quick 50-55 days. This exceptional bean produces classic French filet-type pods characterized by their rich dark green color, slender straight shape, and notably superior flavor.
For the best texture and taste, harvest the pods when they are no thicker than a pencil. The beans are conveniently held high on the stocky bush plants, making picking easy. Calima beans are a versatile choice, excellent for enjoying fresh, preserving through canning, or freezing for later use.
For successful growth, direct sow seeds after the last frost when the soil has warmed. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Bush beans prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development.
Harvest the slender, dark green pods frequently when they are young and tender, ideally no thicker than a pencil, approximately 50-55 days after planting. Savor the exceptional flavor of these delightful French filet beans.
