Producing large yields of slender, smooth, straight pods of good colour, Aintree’s excellent flavour makes it a very popular variety. The pods are 25 to 28cm in length but can be longer if grown with high inputs. It sets well, even in higher temperatures.
The culmination of many years of breeding work, Moonlight is the earliest variety of a new line incorporating the genetics of climbing French bean types. This gives Moonlight all the flavour of a runner bean plus the potential for some self-pollination. The pods produced are very smooth and fleshy and approximately 25cm long.
