Need some Bean help
a customer of mine picked up some green beans at a produce stand, she stated she was told that they were Maliba or something like that also not sure on spelling. As i delivered her my produce she asked if i could find out about this variety and grow her some. She then invited me to taste them, i found them to be slightly sweet and quiet possibly the best bean ive ever tasted. I grow Mccasslin,rattlesnake, kentucky wonders, and bluelake and i must say this seems to be a better tasting bean. Any help identifying this bean is apprieciated, oh and by the way she said they were stringless and 6 to 7 inch green pods...

Territorial has a Malibu pole bean-I have no experience with it, just something I found when I googled "Maliba bean".

GIZZARD--I have no personal experience with this bean but perhaps it is this:
01166 - Malibu Runner Bean Concentrated set and early maturity make this pole bean a winner. The tender straight 7 inch pods are medium green in color and have a superior flavor. The vines are not too aggressive so they can be trained on a fence or trellis easily.
