Taking Care of Pole Green Beans

Question

Do you have to trim or cut the bean vines as they are growing? My beans seem to want to go on clumbing, feet after feet after feet. Should you just wrap them twice around the poles, or should you cut back to stop growing so high?

Answer 1

Never heard of anyone removing pole bean shoots. Just provide adequate support and let them grow. This article will help with growing them: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/beans/pole-bean-supports.htm
