Grow a tough, adaptable, and highly useful shrub with these 400 Siberian Pea Tree seeds. Known for its extreme hardiness and soil-improving qualities, this fast-establishing shrub is ideal for windbreaks, hedges, wildlife habitat, and permaculture systems.

Native to Eastern Russia and Northern China, Siberian Pea Tree grows 15–20 feet tall and 12–15 feet wide with upright, rounded form. It features bright green, feathery compound leaves and produces fragrant yellow pea-like flowers in spring. These blooms are followed by 3-inch edible seed pods that ripen in summer.
