cajun jewel okra

A bayou favorite since the 1950s, Cajun Jewel adapts well to our cooler climate and produces almost as much as hybrid Cajun Delight. Dwarf spineless 3–4' plants yield relatively early 1x7" pods with good flavor. Staffer Emily Skrobis grew four plants in a hoophouse, and they provided her with plenty of okra until frost. She enjoyed regular picking in part so she could admire each new flower. Southern Exposure Seed Exchange introduced this Jewel to commerce in 1989. Black Benefit Sharing .
