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.
