Description
Pea Oregon Sugar Pod (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon) is a famous heirloom snow pea developed at Oregon State University, celebrated worldwide for its high yields, disease resistance, and exceptionally sweet flavor. Producing abundant clusters of smooth, flat, light-green pods reaching 4 to 5 inches in length, it stays tender and stringless even as the pods mature. Growing on semi-dwarf, highly productive 3-foot vines, it is an essential garden favorite for fresh garden snacking, crisp salads, stir-fries, and home freezing.
