Clemson Spineless Green Okra
- Light: Full sun
- Pod size: 3 inches
- Matures: 50 to 64 days
- Plant spacing: 10 inches apart
Heirloom. High yields of spineless, tender ribbed pods with excellent flavor. Traditional favorite for soups and stews. Can be canned, fried, roasted or boiled. Harvest pods when 3 inches long. Pods get much bigger, but small pods are more tender. Plants just keep growing until cool weather in the fall, so they will get 6 feet or taller in areas with a long, warm growing season.
Some Bonnie Plants varieties may not be available in your local area, due to different variables in certain regions. Also, if any variety is a limited, regional variety it will be noted on the pertinent variety page.

We plant two to three 30 foot rows each year. This keeps our family in okra for about a year, running out just in time to plant next year's crop. We like okra fried, pickled, in gumbo, and others, but our favorite is okra and onions sautéed with garlic and olive oil. Some folks add tomatoes to this, but we don't. We want to taste the okra, not the stronger taste of the tomatoes.

over 6 foot tall!
I plant Clemson spineless to shade my tomato from the hot Texas summer sun. They are strong, produce all summer - don't skip a day checking them or the pods will be too large. My kids favorite part of summer - fresh fried Okra! Thanks Bonnie for providing an 'oldie but a goodie'. My grandparents and parents raised Clemson spineless I wouldn't consider any other okra.

Delicious and easy to grow. I freeze these. I put them straight into a baggie, I don't blanch or wash them or they will get slimy. I wash them as they thaw and I cut the heads off and then microwave them or cook them in some eggs. Very good.

Planted these at the beginning of April. Once we got a week of warmer weather here in Georgia, this plant literally grew about a foot and hasn't stopped! It is producing so much okra, I don't know what to do with it!

I love okra. This is the best thing in the world. Okra is good in canning.

We have so many okra. So we have many pods. So far we have harvested five bags. The vine almost tall than my house.
