Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I wanted to know how long it took for a fully grown lima bean plant to produce pods(seeds). Please answer as soon as possible!

Hello

Here is a link to a website explaining the different stages of growth in a lima bean plant. http://www.ehow.com/about_6617406_lima- ... rowth.html

The answer to your question is dependant upon how far along in development your lima bean plants are, it takes about 30 to 60 days for a newly planted lima bean plant to produce pods. From about day 30 onwards the lima plants are their maximum height, so if you have fully grown lima bean plants it should not be too long.

Hope this helps,
