# The Size of a Pinto Bean Plant
Pinto beans are a common legume grown primarily for drying. They look similar to green beans as they grow and contain an average of four beans per pod. The dried beans are tan with brown spots.

Size
-
Most pinto bean plant varieties are vine-like, indeterminate types and grow to about 1 1/2 feet tall. Some varieties are determinate -- bush types that will grow low to the ground.
Plant Support
-
If growing pinto beans for a small home garden, it is best to trellis them for support. When grown in large quantities, they can be planted close enough to support each other and trellising is less necessary.
Growth Cycle
-
Pinto bean plants require about 90 to 100 days from planting to harvesting. Flowering occurs near the midway point and bean production then follows.
