This year I have grown "Early Onward" and "Hurst Greenshaft" growing to abpout 3' 6".  They have performed very well but...I grow them up sections of mesh I 'aquired' from somewhere, that is 6 feet tall. 

Now then, without going daft (about "Alderman and Telephone" etc)  is there a pea that grows to 5 feet, or very close?

Looking forward to hearing your replies .  Cheers,   Tony.

Realseeds say they have Serpette Guilloteau that ought to top out at 1.5m. Maybe you could ask them if that is suitable?

my Telephone topped out at about 6 foot the other year.

For tall peas I've only ever grown Alderman! xx

Champion of England, also from Real Seeds grows to 5-6 feet.   A couple of varieties not widely available but can be sourced from the Heritage Seed library when they offer them are Stokesley and Sutton's Purple Podded.

Champion of England = excellent cropper @ 9-10 peas/[pod (6ft)
 Stokesley = excellent cropper@ 9-11 peas/pod (5ft)

Purple Podded = mediocre with far fewer peas per pod, on average 5 (5-6ft)

All grown next to each other

Hope that helps

My Alderman stop growing at about 5ft, (1.8m fence mesh roll) so no problem!

Thanks for all those suggestions,  my Alderman grew to 8 feet, grew on, fell over then continued to grow on !

Cheers,  Tony.
