From Sakata, which offers this description: " Orient Wonder is a type of pole bean. It is sometimes called "Asparagus Bean" or "Yard Long Bean". Rich green colored beans are slender and long, from 15 to 18 inches (38-48 cm). Seeds are slow to develop so pods stay smooth. It is popular in warm humid areas. "
