A pole-type bean, also known as yard-long or asparagus bean. Slender 15 to 18 inch pods can be eaten lightly steamed or added to a stir-fry. Plants are vigorous and vining. Pods are slow to form seeds, remaining tender for extended harvest. Far superior to standard strains, as it is widely adapted and able to withstand cooler, drier conditions as well as warm, humid weather. Pods are ready to harvest in about 75-85 days from direct seeding.
