Dwarf Shield - Semi Runner - 2022

A Robert Lobitz original named bean released in 1999 through a listing in the Seed Savers Exchange yearbook. The bean was grown last year in 2021 and I was not impressed with it's productivity at that time. Regrew it in a different location and soil. The productivity results were much better. Total seed produced from 10 plants was 8.85 ounces (250.89 gm)
