Pinacate
Phaseolus acutifolius. This tepary was originally obtained from the most arid runoff farm in Mexico, within the Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve in Sonora, Mexico. They have been known to produce a crop from a single storm runoff. Extremely drought tolerant. These beans are mostly pale tan and slightly mottled. Very productive at our Conservation Farm in Patagonia, AZ. From our Seed-Bank Collection.
- Warm season planting
- Origin: Low Desert
- Habit: some twining but not a vigorous climber
- Approx. 7g/50 seeds per packet.
- Limit 3 packets.
*Tepary beans grow best in hot, dry regions with minimal water or irrigation. Overwatering (in any climate) will cause the plants to look very leafy and healthy, but they'll produce few, if any beans. If grown out of region, which is the desert Southwest, results may vary.
