i agree, Malibu beans are the quintessential polebean. They are sweet, tender, and have no strings even at maturity. i highly reccommend them to anyone who is willing to trellis beans. I had to google ,then send off for them at territorialseed.com, they arrived fresh and fertile, i recommend territorial for fast service and great quality. osbornseed.com and maybe rhshumway.com also offer malibu,but i do not have any history with either site.
