Types of Okra

Abigail's Coffee Okra 5 Reviews | Write a Review Joe came upon Abigail, an enterprising gourd grower and master gardener in the Province of Los Santos not far from the town of Tablas.

50 days. [Alabama heirloom]. 5-7 ft. tall plants produce abundant fat, 4 in. red-and-green pods. Stems and leaf veins are also red. This okra is delicious fried, and adds color and unique flavor added to salads when young.

This okra is a German heirloom, originating in this country via Malcolm and Delphine Beck of Comal County near San Antonio, Texas. When the Becks bought their farm in 1968, they noticed mature plants of this okra growing in the prior owner’s garden, and the Becks planted some of the seed the following season.

This heirloom has been grown by the Bowling family of Virginia since the 1920's. Bright Red Podded okra.

I like this okra, and it is as ornamental as it is edible, but I had some trouble growing it. Might have been the drought and the late start. Okra does well in heat, but if it is too small when it runs into an extreme Alabama summer, then it might not do too well. Clemson spineless did very well here but this didn't.

This okra did quite well even after i stopped watering it. It was late maturing this season but not a did well this year for some reason. I am going to grow a few hundred plants this year thanks to the seeds i saved.

This okra had a low germination rate (probably due to cold nights), but once it got established, it was tall, branching, and prolific. Tasted great and the pods were huge and still tender. I will definitely grow this again this summer.

Clemson Spineless Green Okra is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 8. Rated 1 out of 5 by tutu from Variety problem I bought some of this okra from homedepot in March, 2018 in Houston area. The tag says Clemson Spineless Green Okra.
