Sow ‘Emerite’ Pole Filet Bean after the soil has warmed and cold, wet conditions have passed. Use the recorded spacing and provide support when the variety has a climbing habit. Check moisture at root depth, especially during flowering and pod development, while avoiding a rigid calendar. Harvest pods at the stage described for the variety and continue checking plants as more pods develop. Allow seed-saving or dry-bean pods to mature according to the intended use.
With their slender, tender pods and flavor, these beans are a favorite among gardeners and cooks alike.
Before sowing ‘Emerite’ Pole Filet Bean, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Planting: In late Spring, once night temperatures stay securely above 55°F, plant seeds in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Erect strong stakes, tripod poles or trellis, at planting time to support vines. Plant 1" deep and 4" apart along a trellis; around tripods or stakes, plant 4 - 6 seeds about 4" from each pole, thinning seedlings to 3 best plants per pole.
Growing: Beans are an easy and reliable crop, but don't plant seeds too early; cold conditions prevent good germination. If first sowing comes up unevenly, replant right away; new seedlings will catch up quickly. Birds are attracted to young seedlings; watch carefully and protect with netting if necessary. Avoid harvesting beans in wet conditions.
Harvest & Use: For the best yields, pick beans frequently, at least every 2 or 3 days. Filet beans are meant to be eaten when pods are long and slender, so harvest the tender pods early when they are still pencil-thin. These elegant gourmet beans taste best freshly harvested and the more pods you pick, the more plants will produce. Enjoy quickly steamed just until tender-crisp, then toss with a little sweet butter and a sprinkling of fresh tarragon or dill.

These beans were quick to sprout and we were eating them within five weeks after planting! Very happy with the uniform size and taste of these beans.
I purchased 3 packs of these and had about 95% germination. These Emerites (Haricot Vert) are planted with a terrace of 8 foot bamboo poles and netting. They are fast growers, hitting the top in no time and going over the other side. They started producing in 2 months. It has gotten hot now (113) but just picked a basket of beans. These beans are awesome, 5 to 8 inches long, have a wonderful snap and are sweet. I canned 5 pints two days go. These will be my go to pole bean from now on.
