Overview

Đào Trung is a yardlong bean in Zinbioseed's vegetable seed range.

Yardlong bean is a favourite in stir-fries, soups and salads. Its long, tender pods are picked every day or two over a long season, and the plants cope well with heat.

Key features

  • Long, tender pods
  • Heat-tolerant climber with a long picking season
  • Legume that fixes its own nitrogen

Growing guide

  1. SowingSow 2–3 seeds per hill, 2–3 cm deep, and thin to two plants per hill.
  2. TrellisPut up an A-frame or net trellis about 2 m high as soon as the plants start to twine.
  3. FertiliserGo easy on nitrogen, which gives leaves instead of pods; phosphorus and potassium matter more.
  4. PestsWatch for aphids, thrips and pod borers, especially at flowering.
  5. HarvestPick pods at full length but before the seeds swell, every 1–2 days.
