Description
The first puple-podded snap pea, a product of 15 years of breeding. As described by Dr. Alan Kapuler (the breeder): "Unexpectedly, the cross of a Parsley Bush Pea with a Purple Podded Snap Vine Pea generated the hypertendril trait. Hypertendrils are very distinctive, they hold a population of peas together, a useful self-supporting characteristic." (source: http://peaceseedslive.blogspot.com/ )
Hyper-Tendril is also known as Semi-Leafless.
