pole bean

Staked garden vine

A pole bean is a variety of bean plant that climbs upward on poles, trellises, or other supports rather than growing as a compact bush.

The term distinguishes climbing varieties from bush beans, which grow low to the ground without support: We set up stakes for the pole beans along the back fence.
