The original wild state for P vulgaris is a pole habit. Bush beans are dwarfed P. vulgaris, developed for mechanical harvesting. Dwarfed or bush runner beans, P. coccineus, have also been developed. "Runner" bean does not mean pole, it is a European name applied to P. coccineus. Like Farmerdill said, P. vulgaris are unlikely to cross much. P. coccineus are said to be more likely to cross with one another, which is why I am hesitant to grow more than one runner bean per year.

Oh, yes. I'm still interested. So sorry. It got crazy here between daughter having appendectomy surgery (she's 23) and my youngest (6) turning 7 on the same day as her surgery. And then work picked up, of course. I had hardly any work in Jan., Feb., March, and then it picked up last week. Ugh. When it rains, it pours, right?! LOL I'll go get those seeds out in this morning's mail. I still have time before the mailman comes! Thanks so much for writing me again ..... and reminding me.
