"Climbing beans have a three-to-one yield advantage compared to bush bean varieties," Paul Kimani, regional bean breeder and professor at the University of Nairobi, told MediaGlobal. This is crucial to Rwandan farmers because of diminishing land sizes and a growing population said Kimani.

Green beans grow on top of the soil. They are typically classified as a climbing or bush variety, with climbing varieties needing support structures like trellises. The beans themselves develop from flowers that bloom on the plant's vines or stems.
Beans are contained inside the bean pod which is also edible. These pods grow on climbing vines.
To successfully grow climbing French beans in your garden, you should plant them in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Provide support for the beans to climb, such as a trellis or poles. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Fertilize the plants with a balanced fertilizer every few weeks. Harvest the beans when they are young and tender for the best flavor.

Climbing French beans, also known as pole beans, can grow quite tall, typically reaching heights of 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3 meters) or more, depending on the variety and growing conditions. They require support, such as trellises or poles, to help them climb. With proper care, they can produce a bountiful harvest throughout the growing season.
The rock climbing hooks used for securing ropes and gear while climbing are called carabiners.
