Bowie features an excellent dark green pod color and an upright plant habit that lends to an easy harvest. The bean pods are set mid-high in the plant and measure 5-1/2" in length. The pods have great eye-appeal with their dark green color and uniform straightness. Primarily a 4 sieve bean, Bowie carries resistance to Bean Common Mosaic, Curly Top Virus, Halo Blight and Bacterial Brown Spot, and intermediate resistance to Common Blight. Patent 8173876
