Plant four inches apart, when ground is warm, one inch deep. Plants are about 3 feet in height. They carry an abundance of spineless pods which are tender and tasty if picked young. This variety won an All America award back in 1939 and is still thought of as the standard variety. Annie Oakley was the first hybrid okra that we know of and this successor represents an improvement.
Pods are long, slender, spineless and formed very early.
By far, this was the heaviest yielder in our okra trials. Everything on this one is red, the stems, the pods, the flowers and even to some extent the leaves. This All America winner for 1997 really impressed. The pods are a very nice dark green and yields are heavy. Flavor is exceptional.
