Narrative
Hi-Flyer is a day-neutral winged bean cultivar that will flower and produce fruit in the summer in the southern United States. Hi-Flyer is relatively homozygous in its response to a photoperiod of about 14 1/4 hours. Hi-Flyer has a vigorous, indeterminate habit with continuous terminal growth. The plants will grow until killed by frost. Lateral shoots of Hi-Flyer are suppressed throughout the growing season as compared to lines that remain vegetative. Flowering frequency decreases after the initial group of pods set, but flower formation and fruit set resume after the first pods begin to mature. Pods of Hi-Flyer are bright, medium green in color, and about 20 cm long at edible maturity. Young pods are stringless, but strings develop in both sutures as the pod reaches maximum edible maturity. A typical dry fruit produces 10 to 16 globular, brown seeds (31 g per 100 dry seeds). Hi-Flyer will produce a few enlarged storage roots under normal conditions at Charleston, South Carolina, but the roots are not large enough to be of any significant commercial value. When grown in the southern U.S., Hi-Flyer should produce edible pods from mid-July until the end of the growing season.
