Chris Smith says, "In 2024, we planted 32 of my favorite okra varieties. We didn’t plant anything too tall or too short, and certainly avoided anything spiny, but we did combine a wide mix of pod phenotypes. We aim to stabilize traits like spinelessness and height, while maintaining high pod diversity.
