The Wren's Egg I've ever known and grown, and did a real lot of selecting with are all bush.
It really is a very good variety! Real nice growing, tolerant and resistant to lots of problems, and, the kind of bush it grows as is vaguely upright, followed by leaning upright, with good stout stems. They can be grown closer together than average because the plants lean on each other pretty well.
The borlotti/waxy pods they make are beautiful enough to be grown in a flower garden.
Really multipurpose. Tender flavorful pods, the shelly beans are pretty in 3 bean salad, and the dry beans are good.
If the dry beans are harvested a touch too soon some of them may discolor a little, but are still good.
I think of wren's egg as a good variety to grow if the economy ever goes sour.
