Brilliant 😊

Never had them. Look like they would go good in rice.

Amazing video thank you.

Are the peas edible?

Where did you buy the shrub?

The bees are cute buzzing away.

Thanks for sharing, does the tree have a big root system?

Seeing this video six yrs later. Nice information Do you sell seeds

This is amazing. Now I just need to find a way to trap pill bugs and ear wigs.

What soil and water levels do they need?

what about pickling them when they are young and tender? i just thought of this at end; or freezing them. I am trying to think ahead for my harvest. But having them as dried peas style is cool too!

Mine just started blooming this year. Hope your permaculture farm is doing great!! I have these in mine too. Do you ever get pests on your peashrubs? They go after mine like crazy; I've never seen a mealy bug outside except on these, and they also get whiteflies later on. I still love them though.

i found this after a chinese doc about reforesting the gobi desert. is the siberian pea shrub the same family as "normal" human favored peas? would a cross breeding not make a tastier version of the siberian and a more resistant "domesticated" peas? thanks for video its nice

This is genius! Looking for options to free ranging with the new thing going around.

Nice video. Thanks for posting it. I intend sowing a few of these later this year.

No mess. No fuss. Totally organic! What a perfect solution. Thanks for sharing.

Is it easy to keep pruned to a smaller size? Can you cut it back hard?

We go out June bugging every night. Our chicks love them

Ok!! I think I FINNALLY found whatever tree I have in my frnt yard, iv had this in my yard for 12 years, the first 10 it was just this dead looking thing. I cleaned out the bottom dug out a bunch of crap that I think we're in the way of the roots , added new soil and the last two years I have these pretty little yellow flowers for a few weeks then these little green pea bods. Mine Dnt looks as big as your tho..... Any tips ??? I'm new to gardening

Get a big round plastic container and put it by a light with a little water in the bottom. Feeding mine about 100/200 tomorrow.

The boss is so noisy

New subber....do you sell the seeds? Thank you .....

feeds them junebugs in july tsk tsk

I bought seeds of this species and they look totally different WTF

Maybe I missed it? No word about eatability for humans?

Well, you can sell it in the Philippines, we eat those june beetles.hahah

I bought one today, it read peashrub, I have no idea what is was, I just liked the leaves….wow looks nice, not sure where I will put it yet in my garden.

These are all two years growth? That’s crazy!

I am Definitely planting some of these

Do you need more than one shrub for pollination? Thanks very much for your video!

Great presentation, like your footage throughout the season. Have you prepared and eaten them? Curious how they taste.

Do you know the yield? Like how many pounds per plant each year

Thank you Sir for making this video. I appreciate it!

3:49 the sound your mom makes on Friday night

You have an amazingly well pruned tree. My peaches are jealous. I came here because I LOVE the Yellow look of these blowing in the wind. That said, I now wonder if these are invasive and what can we do with the seeds? Maybe grinding them to a flour, like a pine nut or flax seed. Anyone know the nutritional contents? Do they contain tannins? Good starter video, now I'm more curious about the siberian pea.

Do you still collect june bugs? would you mind sending me a bag full of them im doing some insect research. Preferably if they are already dead dont want to harm the live ones. Please email me [email protected] would appreciate your help.

The nectar plant I want to grow the most this year. Probably the #1 pollinating plant of all the native ones in North America!

Is funny that I detest those bugs , especially when they fly close to my hair it gives me shivers, but I just got 4 chicks they are almost 2 months , one day I thought that maybe they will like to eat them so one morning I got some courage and started to gatter some dead ones I found around the grass and give them to my chicks and they go crazy for them , so now I put a small bucket with water under the light porch and they fall there and then I will go out to check if I see more out in the porch and I start grabbing them and tossing them in the bucket and give them to my chicks in the morning 😂😂😂, I got them as pets and I waited 20 years to have them since I was living in the city in places where won't allow me to have so now Im so happy with them and I do those crazy things for them 😂😂😂😂😂

I love your Chickens. Mine are the same color as yours. I just started collecting June Bugs , and my Chickens totally love them. I love my Chickens so much, and I laugh just watching them go crazy over eating them. Grab them and run or run around in circles trying to keep the others from getting hers.

Good tree for pollinators, a recommended small tree/shrub in my pollinating book. I hope to grow one one day along with every species shown in said book, hehe I'm bee-obsessed.

hii, any idea this shrub can grow thru -20 c wet and gloomy cold winter of uk ? does it edible for animals ? thanks. andrew

Recycling at its best.

Here in NSW (Australia) we used to catch literally hundreds of these but they were twice the size, chickens fucking loved them.

Love it! Great use for those bugs. No waste.

those look tasty ☺

Where are you located? I've heard these don't grow well in northern New England. As cold as it gets here, it's not the temperature. Could it be the acidic soils? Or it this plant worth trying in the region anyway? Some people reportedly use the ripe seeds like dried beans or peas. Have you tried this? We are primarily interested in seed production for poultry, but we also enjoy a number of forgotten, wild, and unusual vegetables. The same old lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, and garden peas can be so boring. (Less so if grown in living soil and eaten out in the garden!) So, we are also interested in trying these 'peas'.

Do they take long to germinate in pots? Because i sowed them 3 months ago and yet nothing...

I allow all of the seed to fully mature on the plant and only harvest them just before the pods burst open on their own. I'm growing as many as I can every year for windbreaks, hedges, nitrogen fixation and for pollinators early in the spring. I've tried to eat them when the pods were really young and they were still tough and stringy. Not bad tasting though. When the peas are at their sweetest, they still have less sugar than a regular garden pea. So again... not great to eat. Chickens and ducks really like them though. In early spring and throughout the winter, our flocks are allowed into the food forest to clean up bugs and seeds. They do a nice job. Once I have enough plants that don't need to propagate any more, I'll likely just allow the birds to eat the seeds. If I have time, I may harvest some for trading or selling.

You say harvest in the title. Do you not eat any of the pods or seeds or you just propogate more? What are your long term plans for these? Are you aiming for a siberian pea shrub plantation? I wonder how long they live for? Thanks!

WOw, this is cool. I want to have my own forest garden as I will be buying 80 acres of forest land by a lake real soon. I live in Canada, and would imagine these would grow really easy here. I wonder where you get the seeds or saplings for these, and whether it is permitted to import them here in Canada? Where abouts are you our of curiosity?
