I am not a fan of okra as food, but I love the blossoms and plant for their beauty. So I grow it as an ornamental for me, and give the pods to someone who likes to eat them. One of my Emerald plants branched profusely and gave me a lot of pods. I picked as many as 8 or 9 from one plant alone every day. |

My favorite okra. Prolific yields, big plant, slim pods that that don't get tough and/or seedy as quickly as most other cultivars. |
