20 Seeds Yu Long Asian Yard Long Bean Vigna unguiculata Heirloom Vegetable

Yu Long Asian Yard Long Bean is a productive variety of Vigna unguiculata prized for its exceptionally long, slender pods that remain tender when harvested young. Plants grow vigorously as warm-season annuals, producing abundant pods that can reach impressive lengths and add a striking vertical element to garden trellises.
These beans are a favorite for culinary use, harvested young for stir-fries, sautés, and fresh eating, and they perform well in warm conditions where they climb and continue producing through the season. Pods are best picked while still crisp and slender for the best texture. This variety suits garden beds, raised beds, and containers with support.
