Shelling Pea 'Extra Early Pedigree'
- Product number: 088400
- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Pisum sativum
These early-harvesting, low-growing peas yield a large crop of medium-sized pea pods. On very fertile soil, a little support (short pruning branches) is recommended; on sandy soil, the plants remain more compact, 40-60 cm. A delicious snack pea, which sometimes doesn't even make it to the harvest basket (pick, shell, and snack...)
'Extra Early Pedigree' has been selected since 1893 (by Kenney Seeds Co.) from the much older variety 'Extra Early' and has since been the leading selection of this variety. Very popular in hobby cultivation, but we have to import them specially from the US...
