Green Arrow Peas produce very heavy yields and have outstanding flavor. Long 10 cm (4") pods fill with up to 11 peas per pod. The plants are very vigorous bearing pods in pairs on top of the vines, making harvest a snap. These plants are disease-resistant and will require some support to keep the productive plants upright.
