semi-perennial, disease resistant, heat-loving okra. Grown in coastal nations of West Africa for centuries, it is most commonly grown in low elevations up to 1000 m. Grows well in hot, humid conditions with plenty of water. A ratoon crop may be grown since some plants grow many years, however long-lived plants can harbor disease. It has mid-sized, 8-12 cm long pods and continues to produce pods even when days are short. African okra produces many pods if harvested continuously. Leaves and flowers may also be consumed. Seeds are grey to green and more round in shape than common okra.
