I know there have been some post in the past about some type of Chinese green beans. They supposedly grow in bunches and and get much bigger than my usual rattlesnake beans while staying tender. Does anybody have a recommendation for a particular seed? I wanted to plant a small row of them to try thus year.

I was given some seeds to try, I don't know what variety but they were the brown seeded variety. plant like pole beans, they get very tall and very prolific. The beans grow in a small bunch and are very thin and long. You pick them before they're the thickness of a pencil. They are popular in stir fry and taste somewhat like any other bean but a little tougher. If you want seeds, let some pods mature and dry.
They were ok, but miss daisy wasn't a fan so I never bothered again...

just looked them up again, they are called Chinese long beans, or yard long beans....

Never grew them but in real Chinese restaurants they are great and have a unique taste. They let them get up to a foot long. Other than the Chinese way I've never eaten them.

Yard Long Beans are a different species, Vigna unguiculata, than green beans, Phaseolus vulgaris. Yard Long are a subtype of field peas, blackeye/crowder, that are grown and consumed as snaps vs shelled peas.

BTW, never grown them but from what I've read of them they are a running type of peas and will climb a trellis like other running types. Should do very well down here like the dozens of other peas we grow.

Thanks for the replies.
