Snow peas can grow over 8 feet high. <\/strong>They are a climbing plant so will grow tendrils and look for places to climb up as they grow.  Dwarf (or bush) snow peas grow to around 2.3 feet or 70cm and are great for small spaces or even pots.  You will need to grow your snow peas up a trellis to allow them to grow to full height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How tall to make a trellis be for snow peas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some varieties of snow pea will grow over 8 feet or 2.5 meters so you will need a trellis to support them. I suggest you make the trellis as tall as you have room for.  I usually make mine 2 meters high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the snow peas grow<\/a> beyond this height, you can just pinch of the tips (which taste great in salads) and they will stay at the height of your trellis.  This also makes it easier for the kids to reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long snow peas take to reach full height<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Snow peas are quick growing plants so will only take around 3-4 weeks to reach close to their full height.  They will start to grow flowers and then peas as they continue to grow in height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the great thing about snow peas, they will continue to produce throughout the winter season producing lots of peas over this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make a Snow Pea Tee Pee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have had great fun making a snow pea tee pee.  You can use bamboo posts or wooden stakes and place them around in a circle.  You can then cover with some chicken wire or string and plant the seeds around the base in the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is great for kids and can be a great place for them to hide and play.  Check out the video below on how to grow a snow pea tee pee. You could grow any climber on this shape but peas work great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
