This year I planted pigeon peas in the garden, to see if the variety I got is one that can produce seed before it freezes in November. In the probabal event that it is not such a variety, I have begun researching what varieties are suitable for growing here. What I have found is there are MANY, with the absolute best candidate for Georgia being a variety so named “Georgia-2”, followed by a good but not-as-good variety “Georgia-1”. I have not however found anything about where I can go about actually finding such a variety, so again I call upon the folks of permies! Do any of you in the United States (excluding I suppose most of Florida, Hawaii, and tropical territories) grow pigeon peas such as these or have any clue where/how I might find some? They are a wonderful plant that I grew with wild success in south Florida and they would make a great addition to the new homestead in Georgia if I can find the right varieties.
