Pigeon peas will grow just about anywhere. They can cope with poor soils and little water. Of course they will grow faster, bigger, better, and live longer if they have plenty of water and nutrients. Most varieties are not frost tolerant, although there are some newer varieties that supposedly can handle a bit of frost.igeon peas are very heavy croppers and the seed pods grow in big clusters at the end of the branches.
