Pole Beans. Pole beans grow to heights of 10 feet or more and require staking. Many prefer the increased size and rich flavor of pole beans to that of bush beans. However, they require more time to reach maturity. Pole beans, such as Kentucky Wonder and Kentucky Blue, produce tender green pods that mature in 65 to 75 days. Half-runner beans, such as Mountaineer and Mountaineer White, reach a height of approximately 3 feet and benefit from trellising. These green beans are a cross between bush beans and pole beans.
Weather is an important consideration, when planting pole beans. Beans do not transplant well and do best when directly sown into the garden. Sow the seeds when soil temperatures are around 60 F. (16 C.), and the ambient air has warmed to at least the same temperature.
