Does anyone know of a source of parsley-leafed peas?

I'm pretty sure Alan Kapuler used them in some breeding projects, you might contact Peace Seeds to see if they have any they could part with.

Alan did indeed use the green-podded "Parsley" in some of his breeding projects. I have seed for one of them, "Purple Pod Parsley". The parsley-leaf trait is stable, but the pod color is not... I've had green, purple, and combinations of the two. It is my hope to stabilize the purple pods, but crop losses have impeded my progress - I lost the whole crop to hail & severe heat last year.

Steevil, are Parsley leaf and hyper tendril the same thing?

Steevil, are Parsley leaf and hyper tendril the same thing? Yes, in a manner of speaking. There are actually two recessive traits in the "parsley" varieties. One trait coverts some leaves into more tendrils and gives the hyper-tendril trait. The other trait is a gene that converts all tendrils into mini leaflets. When you get both of these interesting genes you get a giant mass of leaflets which resembles parsley. |

Can they climb without the tendrils? Do the parsley leaflets still grab onto supports?

Something like a pea stick probably would help a lot, but since they are short it's not a huge deal if they dont have one. In my trials of some unkown pea varieties last year i did encounter one or two varieties from the USDA that also had the gene for tendrils turned into leaflets. These ones did not have the hyper-tendril gene, so they would not be described as "parsley types". I believe one was a suspected umbellatum or crown type, and the other was just a normal one. Both of these peas grew much taller than the parsley pea, and since they could not grab on to anything they kept falling over. |

Last summer I noticed an Austrian winter pea that had a tremendous hairy mass of tendrils. I took a photo, and saved seed. Today I planted the seed. I haven't been able to find the photo.

The hypertrendril variety I have grown were quite visible even at seedling stage. You should soon know. Hope you find the photo or can take one from the seed you just sowed. |
