Key facts

United States

Overview

Thai Long Green (hybrid) is a Southeast Asian type bearing slender, curved, pale jade-green fruit about 14 inches long and 2 inches wide, with mild flavor and few seeds. The thin skin and tender flesh cook fast without peeling in stir-fries, curries and on the grill. Heat-loving plants keep setting fruit through the most humid stretch of summer when Western types slow. Start seed indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost and transplant into rich, free-draining ground in full sun once nights stay warm. Pick young and glossy every few days; overripe fruit dulls and toughens.
