I haven’t found anyone in Australia who sells Czar beans, which is a pity as they seem like a really vigorous and useful cultivar. I notice that Southern Harvest, a great family run seed firm in Tasmania, sells the White Dutch runner bean that sounds very similar, white flowers, thick succulent tender pods that are eaten young, or if left on the vine the mature beans can be shelled and dried and used like lima beans in soups and salads. Unfortunately they have sold out for this season but you could put in an order for next season.
Copper tape is sold under the Slugga brand. Several mail order companies stock it including Green Harvest (see my links), Diggers and Cornucopia. Bunnings also stocks it.
Cheers Penny
