Bean, Trail of Tears (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Annual.
25 seeds per packet.

This Cherokee heirloom pole bean's name is a reminder that to carry seeds amidst oppression, violence, and brutality is a powerful act of resistance, a direct connection to the ancestors, and a reminder of the infinite potential and beauty of life. 

Trail of Tears pole bean produces deep purple-black seeds with a great flavor when cooked. Selected as a Slow Food USA 'Ark of Taste' variety.
