Okra lovers rejoice! This is the most productive okra we have ever seen, with plants producing as many as 150 pods per plant in a season. This unbelievable heirloom was selected and perfected over decades by one dedicated farmer in Oklahoma. Dry Creek Farm owner Ron Cook received seeds of Clemson Spineless okra in 1972 from a local gardening friend who had saved her own seeds for decades. Once in his hands, Ron began to select for heavy productivity. After many years of improvement and selection, the Heavy Hitter stands to be one of the most productive okras of all time and with no compromise to flavor and texture. For those who love to grow a mess of okra, this is your variety.

The famous “tree okra” of Ghana! Unique pods are tender and deep green, sometimes tinged in red. This prized variety is superior to most okra from the Americas. An exceptionally tall and delicious variety known to be long lived in its native range in Ghana, West Africa. The name literally translates to “tall okra,” and the plants can reach up to 12 feet tall. Solomon Amuzu, of Call to Permaculture Farm in Ghana, tells us this variety can live up to 15 or 20 years in the tropics if well maintained! Its flavorful leaves are widely used among the Akan, Ewe, Ga, and Fante people. The leaves have a wonderful spinach flavor when cooked in soups, stews, and curries. The pods are rich in mucilage. You can prune this variety to keep it shorter. This historic variety can have a slight bit of variation in color and fruit shape, but is among the best we have tried in our Missouri gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511769399582,"sku":"OK115","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/okra_nkruma_tenten.jpg?v=1782404609"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/collections\/Okra_Eagle_Pass_ZS007.jpg?v=1783528316","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.sbs\/collections\/okra-seeds.oembed","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
