| I know they are not real but I was wondering what is the biggest bean plant out there that can produce huge lima beans, peas out there? For example, is this even real!? I already know about yard long beans, etc. Does anyone have big beans to share/trade? :) |

| The ones pictured in the Amazon ad are most likely Sword beans Canavalia gladiata. Jack beans (Canavalia ensiformis) have smaller pods usually tho still quite large. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Jack Bean

| For purposes of this discussion, are we looking for an exceptionally tall vine or just a large pod and seed? In the story the vine, the "bean stalk", grew up to the sky as I recall. And it was study enough that Jack could climb it. And he needed an ax to chop it down. Jim |

| I am looking something that can produce large pods and seeds. The vine doesn't have to reach the sky :) Although I am wondering what is the tallest bean plant out there too! Thanks farmerdill for the info, very helpful! |

| There are several large-seeded beans I could recommend. Knowing your climate, Spicyseeds, would narrow the choices. |
