Narrative
'Green Pixie' has a high, bushy plant habit similar to that of 'White Acre'. 'Green Pixie' produces dry pods at Charleston, S.C., in ~76 days, 5 days later than 'Bettergreen' and 5 days earlier than 'White Acre'. Pod set is concentrated, and the pods are borne above the foliage in a scattered fashion. Pods at the mature-green harvest stage are attached to the peduncles at about a 90 degree angle; dry pods are attached in a pendant manner. Each peduncle typically produces two pods. A typical 'Green Pixie' pod is slightly cruved, ~15 cm long, and contains ~16 peas. Pod color is light green when immature, purple when ready for mature-green harvest, and light straw color when dry. Fresh 'Green Pixie' peas are rhomboid-kidney in shape, similar to the shape of fresh 'White Acre' peas. Dry peas are small and have a smooth seed coat. 'Green Pixie' peas are similar in size to 'White Acre' peas (weight per 100 dry peas: 'Green Pixie', 8.0 g; 'White Acre', 7.9 g). 'Green Pixie', like its 'Bettergreen' parent, is homozygous for the gc gene that conditions the green cotyledon trait.

Pedigree
Date released:
04 Mar 1999
Description:
'Green Pixie' was derived from the cross 'Bettergreen' x 'White Acre' made in 1990. Pedigree breeding procedures were used to apply intense pressure in the F2 through the F8 generations to select single plants exhibiting both the green cotyledon trait and 'White Acre' seed characteristics. 'Green Pixie' originated as a bulk of an F9 population grown 1994
