- Our okra plants are mammoth sized!! Recently we experimented by pruning the tops of our okra to get more prolific plants. We're getting great results! So today we're pruning our entire patch in hopes of getting a fresh Autumn crop. More to come!! :D

Actually, you should be cutting all of them just a couple inches above ground. Those upper stalks may give you 0-2 okra, but the rest just cuts the nutrients from what is trying to grow below.That new growth NEEDS those nutrients, because they will BOOM! How fun!
Okra is the gift that keeps on giving. Good job!
I’m growing Texas Hill Country Red okra this year as an experiment (from Baker’s Creek Seeds) and so far it is 16 feet tall. I can’t reach the tops anymore so have just topped them off. Hoping they start growing back from the bottom. This is the most productive okra I’ve ever seen and the stems are super thick and strong. I live in San Antonio, Texas.
I live here in San Antonio too! I have four okra plants, and my tallest one is coming up on 6 feet. I have spineless okra, and I had considered topping off the tallest plant if it gets to where I can't reach. This is my first time growing produce, and my okra plants have been very successful!
@@lanetracarther7282 I did top off several of my tallest okra plants and this caused the plants to branch more, thus producing even more okra. Wow, I didn’t expect that, so will do this every year going forward when they get too tall to bend easily for harvesting.
Try the motherland okra from Baker Creek. It gets crazy big and the pods are short and fat. Turned out very good for me here in Central Florida.
33 feet and 1 inch seems to be the record okra plant. Love your videos.
Wow
Wow. My okra is first crop to be very successful this hot Florida summer. But learning I can top it off pretty soon makes me happy that I found your video. No one else has mentioned it. Thank you.
Im in 10a SW FL and I recommend to everyone *SWEET POTATOS*. They love the florida summers and are pretty low maintenance to grow. The more tropical/wild the variety the better, those varietys seem to thrive in our extreme heat/moisture. I started slips from organic purple sweet potatos I bought at publix one year and they've been impossible to kill 😂
I accidentally lobbed the top off of one of mine and put it in search to see if anybody could tell me if I should go ahead and put it down, so I'm happy to see this and the other comments saying it will produce again. Food prices are outrageous this 2024 year .
So how did it turn out? I didn't see an update video.
I do my okra like this, and it does put out a lot of new okra close to the ground.
the same with sunflowers, once they stop blooming cut stalk halfway down and new buds appear everywhere within a few days
looks like you have good little helper also good advice will try with my okra
I just learned that you can overwinter okra and now I know that you should top then as well.
Thanks for the video, RUclips is fantastic!
The way you grow the okra so tall you could do a 3 sister's method and grow beans up them.
Last year I had okra 15ft tall had to use a 8ft ladder to pick staks were 4in diameter use my 4x4 truck to pull out after the season
Learn something new every day.
Thank you.
So thankful to come across this video. 1st time gardener and the okra came up Beautifully. Time to do some pruning. Thank U Kindly for video.
I've loved okra since I was 4 1/2 (now 80) so always happy to see ways to keep okra producing 😎
Tallest okra plant is from New Orleans at 16.40 feet high. I have some that is surpassing 7 feet right now.
I have okra that’s over 14ft- thank you for this video!
MA SHA ALLAH , cute daughter also helping you
Wow amazing okra , a giant okra. Nice video mam thank you for sharing good content.
Those big green leaves at the top produce the most photosynthesis for the plant to absorb light and make energy aka fruit.
Thank you, this was a great help.
So great you will be getting another harvest! If you cut them even lower wouldn't they get all the nutrients they needed instead of it going up the stalk? That's what I do with tomatoes so why not okra?
Can you replant the stalk, I mean try to turn it into a new plant?
Thanks for posting this video I’m gonna try this method this weekend!!
Great video. I'll be looking out for the next one.
Love the video and love your hair. I may have to do this, this year. Thank you
mine are 11 feet plus and we have to pull them over in order to pick the crop. so we plan to top them to try to get them back to a manageable hight
Last year I had one okra plant that was 13' 6 6and a half inches tall. I've grown a few over 12' tall..
Okra is a strong plant.
Ooo la la 👼🏽 promising
Tallest okra,was in the UK in 1993 was 33ft and 1 inch.
My okra branches out like that at each leaf node. I have so much okra in my freezer from previous years I only planted 6 plants this year. I like to eat it raw when the pods are 1 1/2-2 inches long. I don’t live anywhere near the Deep South and I thought okra was a heat lovin plant
Those are some of the healthiest ochre trees you have. I am curious to know what brand of ochre seeds you planted. Thanks for sharing. Peace and blessings
These were the Star of David okra. They are a great strain!
Have tried pruning. Some plants respond some do not.
Hi can you tell me where are you? I'm in USA; just bought a pack of okra seed, call Go Gig, I wonder is it the one that you grow in your video? Love that little girl, she is so cute.
I enjoyed the video
I cut mine about 6 inches from the ground and they do grow back
Dear Lord all of those okra are huge in girth some in length and girth. Mine don't get that big around, what kind are y'all using?
Really cool video
I grew some cowhorn okra that reached 13 feet tall
2023 19 August
I haven't seen such a bitter gourd like lady finger in my Life here in south Asia
Could you share what food items do you make or cook out of this Okra?
14 foot 6” okra plant
wow nice
What is the name of this giant okra
Star of David
I enjoy your videos!! Are you still homeschooling Sunshine?
Let them grow
I need help can okra still do well after being hit by winter and has removed all the leaves
How tall is the record
I did this to my okra plants last year In Texas zone 8A, after watching this video, and it severely cut my yield down. The results were very disappointing. The plants that I didn't prune this way kept on producing abundantly. The plants I pruned I only received a few okra from a whole 15ft row. I did the pruning in the beginning September.
This comment is just to add to the information pool. If you are in my area proceed with caution.
It depends on what your tempatures are like and how many warm weeks you still have where you live prior to the weather turning colder. This woman lives where it is tropical, I believe. Cutting them back, does work and gives the plants a boost.
Wow, that’s tall 😳
My best friends dad had the biggest ever
Can you mention the type,verity of your okra.pls
This video posted Sept 3. When did you actually top the okra?
What's the spacing you're using for these okras?
WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS 😍
👍
Would love some of those seeds, where did you get them?
Star of David okra is an heirloom variety but it isn't rare. A simple search for "Star of David Okra Seeds" will give you several companies to choose from including Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. We highly recommend them!
Then what the total life span of okra plant?
Until it freezes
16 ft is tallest
Why does everything have to be an experiment
سيدتي المحترمة يمكن أن حني النبات بدرجه كبيره بدون قطعه لكي تنموا من جديد
there is no point in growing them tall. Then you need ladder to harvest veg.
