Tom, over the years I have tried a lot of French filet type beans and most are very tasty and they range in size a good bit. I found that most were not as consistent in production as I would like until I found Maxibel. I have been growing them exclusively for around ten years now and they almost never disappoint. The beans are longer than many Ff types and they are pretty good at remaining string-less unless you let them mature for far too long before you pick them. It is pretty hot down here and they still produce wonderfully where many other didn't and they are easy to pick. A fully mature pod can be anywhere from 7 to 10 inches long but they usually are 8 to 9 inches but if you want them smaller just pick a day earlier.
