The Tall Telephone or Alderman Pea is a Swiss heirloom dating to 1878. Vigorous vines produce a profusion of large, easy to pick, dark-green pods, with 8 - 10 delicious peas in each. Vines will climb to about 6 ft and need trellising.
Long season, frost hardy and most tasty when planted in cool soil in early Spring for early Summer peas, or late Summer for an unusual Fall harvest. Good in most areas for home gardens, fresh markets and freezing. English or Garden Type, meaning its delicious peas are eaten and not the pods. Considered one of the finest English type peas reknown for its high quality, fine flavor and excellent production.
