Default Runner bean Q

Planting out some runners this evening, I accidentally broke off the leaves
on one plant. Will it die or recover?Thanks

If the break is above the first leaf node, it will be fine. If below,
it will die.

Let's hope you've not entered any runner bean competitions then :-)

Do you mean true leaves or the fat fleshy seed leaves? If the latter,
then there is no hope.
