Leaves are 4-8&#8243; long, pinnately compound, with 5-7 ovate to lanceolate leaflets. Vines can reach 10 feet long. In cranberry beds, the vines grow among and over top of the cranberry vines, forming dense, twisting &amp; tangled mats. Cranberry vines may die in areas of heavy wild bean growth.\u00a0 Wild bean can spread extremely rapidly on cranberry beds.
