Yard long beans are called Asparagus beans or Chinese Long beans. This variety produces rich green, long, slender, round stringless pods. These beans are very crisp, tender and delicious. Orient Wonder is far superior to standard varieties for its flavor and ability to grow in a wide range of conditions. It thrives in warm humid areas but sets fruit better in cool or drier weather than similar varieties.
