I can post seeds or pick up from Lurnea-2170
A woody, fast growing leguminous shrub, to 3.6 m, with yellow and red flowers. It is hardy, widely adaptable and tolerant of temperatures as high as 35C. The seeds are 25% protein, can be eaten fresh or as split dried peas, are used for dhal in India, contain 5 times more Vitamin A and C than green peas. The leaves and young shoots can be eaten cooked, they are fibrous and have a strong spicy odour. Animal Fodder; an excellent feed for cattle, pigs and poultry. Green Manure; incorporate the plants as they flower. Mulch production; can be cut many times in a season. Windbreaks; suitable as a shelter belt around vegetable gardens and plants provide nitrogen, habitat and soil stabilisation. Permaculture - plant on west side of newly planted trees to provide wind and sun shelter and a ready source of mulch. Prune back to control growth and use as mulch on your young tree.
Recommended Planting Time: Spring, or during the wet season, soil temperature should be at least 25°C for germination, a higher soil temperature will give a more even germination.
Planting Depth: It can be direct-seeded, or planted into forestry tubes and later transplanted. Sow the seed 2.5 cm deep.
Details: Soaking seeds overnight will improve germination. Protect young plants from all grazing animals.
The pigeon pea has to be one of the most versatile permaculture plants. It improves soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen.
Leaves, flowers, seed pods and seed all make nutritious animal fodder.
The flowers attract bees.
Pigeon peas can be frequently pruned for mulch.
Every time you prune them (and also when the plant dies) the root nodules release nitrogen that can be used by other plants.
Their open canopy shelters young, delicate plants but lets enough light through for things to grow underneath.
A hedge makes a good windbreak.
Once established they self seed prolifically. Cut down the ones you don't really want and use as mulch. Leave the ones that grow in the right spots.
They can make a living trellis for climbers.
They have a very deep tap root that is able to break through hard pans and improve the soil structure. It also brings nutrients from the subsoil to the surface.
