This early 1900’s introduction is the standard by which all the others are graded. Each large pod grows on 75 cm stems and has pods containing 7-9 peas. This main crop pea variety has been used by gardeners from coast to coast for more than 100 years. It has a distinct pea flavour which is superior and is excellent for freezing but like all peas are best straight out of the garden.
