Succotash is quite leafy and likes to grow quite tall.
Maderia Maroon are climbers also.

Magpie and Swedish one pot are bush beans. Plant them about 10" apart.

Major Cooke is a climber as well. I start half a dozen seed in a three-inch pot, then grow them up wigwams.

@ Gavin: the seeds are self saved by other growers

Major cooke are huge at least 8 ft canes.  They have big leaves too so tend to blow over easily.  Trail of tears much smaller.

Both of them grew to around the same size for me last year. They were comfortable on 8-foot poles; I wouldn't grow either on anything shorter.

My trail of tear must have slightly different genes I grow them up sweet corn.   Mine originally came from Real Seeds, I think I will try and source some HSL ones.
