    This is the first true stringless pea pod. High production on compact vines with high disease resistance. Slender pods grow to about 3 inches with deep green color on deep green plants that don’t need staking!

    Tender, sweet, crunchy pods can be served fresh and are perfect when added to salads. Cook in stir fry or steam for a delectable side dish. Pick shelling peas when the pods are full, before the peas have a chance to harden. Edible pods are harvested before any peas can be felt in them. Can be grown in containers.
