Scarlet runner bean update
The scarlet
runner beans are over 7 feet tall.
I'll bet they could go as
high as 50 feet under the right conditions?

I planted some scarlet runners at the base of a power pole guy wire one year. They climbed up to the top of the power pole, and got tangled in the power lines. It was amazing. I had to use a dry bamboo pole to knock the dried pods down. Estimated height of the power lines 25 ft. So 50 ft might be a good estimate.
