MUSICA

67 days. This magnificent 6 foot tall Romano pole bean produces a massive crop of huge, tender beans over a long season. The bright green pods are flat and about 7–8 inches long. It continues to be the finest Romano we've ever trialed. Musica remains very tender and delicious even when it reaches its largest size. White seeds; 55 per ounce.

Very productive in Seattle

I planted 4-5 seeds and got plenty of beans. The first flush stayed tender until almost the end and when the second, smaller flush came they were tender again. They tasted great!

Great Choice for a green bean to grow

I have been growing Musica Romano pole beans for many years. I have never had a crop failure. The beans are an outstanding green bean. Some years ago I took a box of Musica beans into a local restaurant that features Italian cooking. They looked at the long beans and were sure that they would be too mature and tough. They tried them raw and then prepared the beans. The next question was whether I would be willing to raise the Musica beans to sell to them. I grow the Musica beans on a trellis that hangs over a walkway between two raised beds. I walk under the vines and pick the beans on the sides and overhead. I also plant a second crop to continue the harvest later in the season. With seasons now appearing to be extended, I am thinking about trying to add a third planting. These are just an outstanding green bean for green bean lovers.

Good Beans

Just had first picking of this variety and the flavor is excellent. The seeds sprouted and grew well. These are easy to pick, the beans are right in view and even the larger ones were not stringy. Definitely growing these next year

Musica Romano beans PRODUCE TONS!! but do get tough later in the season as temps begin to drop

We don't have a long growing season, and they are still (early Sept, so ~60F daily) producing tons, but bigger ones are tough now. Romano Capitan aren't getting tough yet, so maybe cooler places are better for Capitan, although Musica are still crazy productive and successful (even agressive!!) growers!

Rich and flavorful beans are fiber-packed veggies that promote digestive health and are excellent sources of antioxidants that scavenge free radicals in the body. They are also nitrogen-fixing legumes; beans gather nitrogen from the air and load it into the soil to feed future crops.
