Alderman is a tall climbing pea for gardeners who want height, heavy crops and a more traditional maincrop harvest. The plants can reach around 1.5 to 1.8m, creating an impressive vertical crop on pea netting, bamboo canes, trellis, garden frames or a sturdy A frame. The long thick pods are the real selling point, often holding around 9 to 12 sweet green peas with excellent flavour for fresh eating, cooking and freezing. Unlike compact dwarf peas, Alderman is ideal where you want a taller heritage pea that makes full use of vertical space and produces over a longer summer picking season. It is a strong choice for allotments, raised beds, kitchen gardens, exhibition vegetables and home growers who want classic shelling peas with old fashioned garden character.
