| A more widely adapted day-neutral variety of a subtropical Asian specialty. Graceful, 16-20" long, dark green pods, no bigger than the diameter of a pencil. Stringless, sweet, and richly flavored for steaming and stir-fry. Prefers warm days and nights - expect reduced yield in cooler areas. Use a tall trellis. They also attract alot of big black ants. |

| Gita is a hybrid asian yardlong type pole bean that I have grown for about 7 years with mixed results. If the weather is hot, they will thrive and yield profusly. If the weather is cool, they will stop growing and producing.They are stringless when picked up to 14" or so but still a bit firmer than regular pole beans but they are a big improvement on the original yardlong beans that were so stringy that they could be used for rope. |
