Scarlet Empire Runners
Our Scarlet Empire runner beans are looking happy. Producing some really good 30cm pods!
Testing these this year VS original scarlet emperor. I have heard it is more resistance to disease than the origial and abit better pods length and quality which it needed. Polstar pods are the best in my opinion if you have not tried them then give them a go...
Polestar sound good - stringless. We really liked the Scarlet Empire, didn't have them last year but have them again in 2013 along with some un-named white flowered beans which someone gave us.
