Re: pea supports

Tree branches are just fine so long as they aren't too big.  Shrubbery
prunings are good, too.  Just shove them in the ground or stack them up so
that they don't blow over.  I've done this and never had a problem.
I have had trouble growing peas in the fall (zone 6).  If it isn't too hot
and you don't get an early frost, you will do OK.  Pea flowers and pea pods
don't do well in either heat or frost, so far as I know.  I've never had good
results growing peas in the fall.  Let us know how you do.  I might give it
another try if you do well.
