non fruiting pole beans (post #17716)

I have a couple of varieties of bush green beans that are thriving.

My pole beans however look great but aren't producing flowers or fruit.

I've never seen this before; can anyone tell me why this may be happening?

When did you plant the beans? (post #17716, reply #1 of 1)

Compare the planting date with the "days to maturity" date on the seed packet. Your plants may be taking longer than usual to flower and fruit due to weather conditions, too. I planted my pole beans mid-July (in Connecticut), and the plants also look fantastic, but they are just beginning to flower now.
