Experience double the yield of other okras. More attractive tender pods, and such great flavor that non-okra lovers will convert. Early, dark-green hybrid with attractive color on pods that are tender longer. Great for pickling and cooking. Plant this AAS winner a week or ten days before other okras and stand back. 49 days. Hybrid
It grows ok here, but the plants are small, pods get tough and fibrous relatively quick, and yields are no better than standard cultivars. Under my conditions it does not compete well with Emerald, which yields better and tastes better.
