Okra dtm

Rena · January 5, 2008

I noticed someone had mentioned that they could not grow okra up north. I wanted to list some of the okra I have grown and DTM to make sure they have not tried a variety that maybe has a shorter DTM.

Clemson Spineless #80 58days
Emerald 58days
Silver Queen 80days
Alabama Red 75
Burmese 58days

For me Alabama Red was much later then 75 days I would even guess 100.
Okra is a member of the Hollyhock family will cross easily so if you are growing more then one type and want to save seed it is best to bag the blossom.
