FB-Suvarn is an erect, single stem cluster bean that fruits vigorously in clusters from the bottom of the plant upward. Pods are slim, long and shiny lustrous green at 10-12 cm, smooth and sweet, and gather 12-15 to a cluster so picking is quick. Its most useful trait for a grower is that the pods do not go over-mature even in late picking, which protects quality at the end of the season.
