I grew this one last year and totally impressed with it. Highly productive and really great long tender beans. It is taller than most bush beans, so plant them close so they lean on each other or throw in some short sticks to support.
Here's a description from westcoastseeds, that's very accurate,

Maxibel Filet
Maxibel is unsurpassed in flavour and great for fresh market gardeners. Straight, dark-green filet bean pods are stringless and about 18cm (7") long on sturdy bush plants. Maxibel yields in a huge but concentrated harvest so replant every 2-3 weeks. Seeds are brown speckled.

I grow Jade and Euraka along with Maxibel, they don't come close to Maxibel so won't be back. I am trying to save lots of seeds for Max hopefully to share with people when we do our fall trade.
