Cherokee Wax, first available to the public in 1947, comes from the research department of Clemson University in South Carolina. This bean comes from a strain that yields very vigorously and resists disease, and was distinguished with the AAS Award in 1948. "Wax" is a term originally from New England that has come to refer to any bean that grows yellow in color. Expect your first beans about ten weeks after germination. Daily harvesting improves production; for best flavor and tenderness, pick the beans when they are no larger than a pencil in thickness. Serve or preserve the same day you harvested them for the freshest taste. Delicious fresh, frozen or canned, this home garden favorite produces lots of 5 to 6" long yellow pods with black seeds. Resistant to both rust and Bean common mosaic virus. Reminder! Be sure to plant enough for fresh use as well as canning or freezing.
