I've been growing runner beans for 7 years. I've been able to get a crop from them the past 3 years. Last year the biggest crop ever. They don't set fruit well during hot weather. A bit at a time I'm selecting for a strain that can make seeds in hot weather. Mine grow to the top of 6 foot bean poles, and have plenty of vine left over.
