You will enjoy them. When the pea pods ripen, and turn brown, they will explode in a spiral motion. Plants have spines to so be careful. I made hedges out of mine by letting then grow a foot each season and cutting the tops off. They get thicker and thicker that way.
How tall did you make the hedge. Im very enticed by this plant because it is food producing and has mature heights that are much higher than fences you are allowed to build.
I would likely plant it in front of a chain link fence, keep a bit of space and let it get as high as I can reach with an A-frame ladder.
Also how thin can i make the hedge to make it impossible to see through when it has the leaves?
Take it easy eating the chokes. They have a strong effect on the digestive system , lots of gas. So start out slow until you learn how they effect your body.
Do you know if these crops will do well in a hot climate like south Alabama?
Thank you for looking into this for me. I would love to try these. Especially the Siberian pea shrub. I have the perfect place for that.

Thanks for the info. Do they need much sun?
