About Chiba Green
Chiba Green is an early edamame with large beans, good flavor, and productive bush plants. Its earlier maturity makes it especially useful where summers are shorter or gardeners want an earlier soybean harvest.
Growing Chiba Green Edamame
This variety fits short seasons well, but it still needs real summer warmth to germinate and grow strongly. Harvest as soon as the pods are fat and bright green, because early varieties can pass peak eating stage quickly in hot weather.
