Green Bean variety

Fortex Green Bean

Produces long, slender, high-quality filet beans on vigorous vines. Pods stay tender at surprisingly large size.

About Fortex

Fortex is a filet-style pole bean that makes long, slender, dark green pods with excellent flavor and fine texture. It is especially valued because the pods stay tender at a larger size than many slim beans.

Growing Fortex Green Bean

Give Fortex a tall trellis and keep vines picked, because it will produce over a long stretch if not allowed to set old pods. Harvest around 8 inches or longer while pods are still smooth and pliable, and keep irrigation even to avoid tough beans in hot weather.
