I assume this variety is the same as the \"Galaxy Hybrid\" that was sold by Evergreen Seeds. I am growing this variety along with Dwarf Green Pod. The Orient Galaxy pods are long and smooth and not at all irritating. I have 8\" pods that are not at all woody. The leaves are intermediate in shape between the full leaves of the Silver Queen and the thin strap leaves of the Dwarf Green Pod. The leaves seem to be eaten by snails but the plant keeps producing. The Dwarf Green Pod and the Orient Galaxy seem to be equally productive, if given adequate water, space and heat (August and September in Los Angeles). I like the nonirritating pods, but as it\'s a hybrid the seed can\'t be saved.
