Tom,

The vast majority of pole beans I've tried are 64-75 dtm. I've yet to try Early Riser and Northeaster, which are said to be in the 50-55 day range.

I had two bean crosses last year, in my garden. One was 44 dtm (unknown if it was an edible pod). The other one was about 105 days. This one had 20 foot vines, that didn't start producing until about the 13 foot mark.
