Wild Pea of Umbria

Hi Lowell! Any updates? Iā€™m curious about the possibility of roveja being compatible with garden peas

Roveja is compatible to cross with garden peas. I recommend using it as a pollen donor because I had a lot less pod set when trying to use it as a mother. It appears sensitive to a climatic factor for inducing pod set. For me it sets pods vigorously in hotter temperatures and longer days, around mid-April. Earlier flowers have a high drop rate and no crosses were successful then.
