Description:
'DoubleGreen Delight' was developed using a pedigree breeding procedure that included a single cross and repeated single-plant selections. The original cross involved "Bettergreen', a cream-type pea with green-colored cotyledons, and 'Freezegreen', a cream-type pea with green-colored testa (seed coat). Intense selection pressure was applied in the F2 through the F9 generations for combined green cotyledon and green testa phenotypes and superior horticultural characteristics. 'DoubleGreen Delight' originated as a bulk of an F9 line grown in 1995
