    Early and prolific best describes this variety. Both the plant and the pods are quite decorative. Red okra varieties do not normally produce well for me, but this one is exceptional. It is a velvet type and excellent quality, holds almost as long as Emerald. About two weeks earlier than Emerald and matches or exceeds in production. Smaller plant ( 4-5 ft).
