Snap beans are also commonly referred to as string beans or green beans (though not all snap beans are green).

Pole beans are so-called because they require a trellis, support, or wait for it… a pole. Pole beans require more effort than bush beans but may also be grown in containers with the right support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBean Sub-Type:\u003c\/strong\u003eAsian - Asian beans encompass a wide spectrum of bean varieties, either originating from Asia or being especially popular in Asian cultures. Specialty - There are many subcategories of beans, and in the interest of simplifying what would be an overwhelming number of bean varieties, we group them as 'specialty'. These include but are not limited to yardlong beans, winged beans, hyacinth beans, sword beans, asparagus beans, adzuki, mung, garbanzo, and others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRow Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60-108 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003eVining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid - Ready for harvest around 66-86 days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Preference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beans prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8.

Look for signs of chewing, curling leaves, eggs on the undersides of leaves, and leaf discoloration. Keeping your bean plants clean from dust build-up and surrounded by a variety of plants to help deter and prevent pest damage. Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil. The roots need adequate time to air out between watering. This will also help prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases from developing. Good air circulation and applying water to the ground rather than the leaves will help maintain healthy bean plant growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Bean Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Bean Flavor:\u003c\/strong\u003eSweet and earthy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenhouse, Garden Plot, Raised Bed, Container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBean Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stir Fry, Soup, Salad, Asian dishes, and more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimate Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat-Tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!--endattr--\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Beans in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanting begins once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed sufficiently. Seeds should be sown directly into well-drained, fertile soil at a depth of one inch. They should be spaced about four inches apart along a trellis or eight to ten inches apart if using individual stakes. If opting for tripods, plant four to six seeds near each pole, thinning to the three strongest plants. Installing support structures at the time of planting is crucial to prevent damage to the young vines as they grow. These beans thrive in sunny locations with rich, well-amended soil. Compost or a balanced fertilizer should be incorporated into the soil prior to planting to provide essential nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsistent watering is vital to ensure healthy growth. The soil should remain evenly moist but never waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilizer applications should continue during the growing season, using compost or a balanced fertilizer as a side dressing to promote vigorous vines and pod production. Yard-long beans benefit from companion planting with crops like spinach or arugula, which can help improve overall garden productivity. These fast-growing beans require regular maintenance to guide their vines along supports and ensure proper spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Beans\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest when pods are smooth, tender, pencil-thin, and 12-30 inches long. Waiting too long to harvest can produce tougher beans as the seeds mature. Pods should be harvested with scissors or a sharp knife to avoid damaging the plant. Regular harvesting stimulates continued pod production throughout the growing season. This bean is meant to be eaten fresh as a snap variety, with the entire pod being tender and edible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Bean Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternate Names: Asparagus bean, banor, cai dou, chang dou, chang jiang dou, chang kong tau, cheung kong tau, Chinese long bean, dau dua, dau gok, dau que, diya mekaral, dow gauk, garter bean, hamtak, jiang dou, juroku sasage mame, kacang belut, kacang panjang, kacang panjang hijau, kacang perut ayam, lobia, otok, sasage, sitao, sitaw, snake bean, tau afuk yaou, tau fug yao, thua chin, and tseng dou.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYo Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Beans originate in China, where they are regularly grown and eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"custom-videos\" class=\"custom-video-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-video-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AeSqa0w4VZo?si=xJmUHsZyq7ZDjapr\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-video-container\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8SKatHrTSOM?si=er9i1e6MCQjRFSI3\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOther Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/blogs\/articles\/examples-of-seed-variation-natural-vs-man-made-materials\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExamples Of Seed Variation - Natural Vs Man-Made Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eYu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Bean Seeds Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 g - Wholesale - Approximately 44 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Bean seeds are available for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/shipping-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on qualifying orders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitazawa Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"7g Packet","offer_id":50290361893101,"sku":"58230","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/6048\/0493\/files\/TLCN-59943-Bean_Yard_Long_-_Yu_Long_Noodle_King_58760bce-3944-4d13-b5f7-f02e19a7b4ad.webp?v=1784158931","url":"https:\/\/tlmwholesale.com\/products\/bean-seeds-yu-long-noodle-king-yard-long-kz","provider":"True Leaf Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
