Description
We believe Canoe produces the most seeds in a pod.
We have spotted many 11 and 12 seeded pods in the seed crop, but can you find lucky 13? This aptly named variety has long, slightly curved pointed pods similar to a Canoe.
Producing a heavy crop of pods, on semi-leafless, almost self supporting plants when grown in a block.
Ideal for freezing and sure to be an exhibition variety of the future.
