How many beans can you get from one plant?

One bean plant will generally return 120:1. That is, 120 beans per 1 planted. Green beans generally average 6 beans per pod so you’d get 20 pods per plant. Since the overall size and thickness of the pods vary, I’d say that each plant should produce about a half pint of snap beans.
