"Extraordinaire! A French bean that's bigger and tastier- a new classic. A gourmet's delight, this stringless French variety is everything you wish for in a bean: tender, green, mildly sweet, nutty, meaty, savory. Wildly popular in France (the French know beans), you can pick them from 6 up to 11 inches. Vigorous growth requires sturdy stakes. 75 days."

Best Green Been,
January 25, 2009 Submitted bywonderwoman from Boones Mill, VA
"We tried the Fortex pole been for the first time in 2008 - this is the first pole bean ever, much easier than a bush bean. We had great results with beans arriving in July and lasting until October without replanting. We froze some and had them this winter. They tasted fantastic! Will plant again and again."

Excellent Green Bean,
September 13, 2008 Submitted bygardenperson from Iowa
"Tried these for the first time in summer of 2008. Had excellent results with good yields. The taste and texture of the bean was excellent. Yields were so great that we are trying to freeze some for this winters use. Will order and plant this bean again."

Excellent pole bean,
August 13, 2007 Submitted byJDSH
"I've grown Fortex for two years in my garden. I stopped growing bush beans, because I find pole beans, and especially Fortex, are simply the best. I usually grow 3 or 4 varieties, but this year, I only planted a few of the others, and doubled my Fortex. These beans are long, flavorful, stringless, and freeze well. They never cease to satisfy. They have a medium, nutty flavor that tastes great steamed with nothing more than a little butter, salt and pepper. They produce all summer long and seem to be quite hardy. Fortex is now a staple in our garden!"

"I grew Fortex for this first time this past summer (summer of 2006) and found Fortex to perform quite well. My family loves green beans, but we were pressed for space. I planted Fortex and it survived our dreadful drought ridden summer, but I had to water it weekly during the dry spells. My reward was a surprisingly large yield of great tasting (long) green beans with little or no strings, and once I discovered how good they were I pulled up some other plants that didn't survive the drought and planted another row of Fortex in their place. Thank you Burpee, and keep up the good work!"
