Cascadia is a shorter bush type snap pea renowned for its thick walled pods that average 2-3” long and have sweet wrinkled peas inside them. Pods are crisp and juicy. It is a newer variety and has some resistance to disease. Cascadia vines grow 61-76 cm (24-30") tall and typically do not require staking, although some staking is always beneficial to help support the vines. Cascadia, like many pea types prefer cooler weather but can tolerate some heat. Vines produce heavy yields of slim, dark green pods that contain 6-9 peas of superb quality for fresh eating, freezing, cooking or canning. Pods mature in about 62-76 days after planting.

Additional Information:
Open pollinated-untreated seeds. It is a very early season pea that produces abundant amounts of tasty peas that are perfect for eating fresh or freezing. Cascadia peas make an excellent choice for home gardens and organic production. Cascadia peas have strong, medium vines that reach 61-76cm (24-30”) tall and will benefit from staking or trellising although it is not required. The most common disease affecting peas is probably pea root rot (Fusarium sp. or Aphanomyces euteiches) which causes browning and drying of the foliage from the ground up. The best control is to ensure well-drained soil and to rotate crops out of legumes for at least three years. Powdery mildew causes white, powdery mold on the leaves, stems, and pods in hot weather. |
