The Contender put on twice the beans that Trofeo did. About a 70% germination vs. 95% with Contender. Pretty good flavor.  -  Monday, August 03, 2009 great filet bean Reviewed By: Linda (Elkton, Virginia) First time planted and loved them. Produced a bushel from one short row. Nice, long, and slender, without any spots. All came on at once, so we could pull the plants and plant more!!Makes a great dilly bean!  -  Monday, December 28, 2009 Just didn't quit Reviewed By: Sue (South Plainfield, New Jersey) I planted 16 square feet of Trofeo,half in May and half in early June and nearby an equal amount of Jade at the same intervals. I pulled the Jade in July due to powdery mildew - and harvested my last Trofeo in time for Thanksgiving. This variety gave me over 3 quarts of beautiful, disease-free beans.  -  Friday, February 26, 2010 A Surprise - Twice! Reviewed By: Pete (Boulder Junction, WI) When I opened my Gurney's order, I had been shipped the wrong green bean variety. (Of course, the good folks at Gurney's made it right at once). I planted these anyway, and really enjoyed the slender, deep green, and tasty results. Trofeo was excellent steamed fresh, and stood up well to blanching and freezing. A pleasant surprise - twice!  -  Saturday, February 27, 2010 Unbelievable Yield Reviewed By: Vicki (Edinburg, VA) I kept hoping something would kill these plants because they just didn't stop producing perfect long, thin, tasty pods. I only had about 75' of row and we ate and canned so many and I still had some left to give away. No diseases, even the bugs didn't bother them much. Awesome!
