Description

Kınalı Bornova is a traditional red okra variety from West Turkey. Strong, productive plants grow long, flavorful pods that develop red coloration on pods. As the okra pods grow, color fades and remains mostly around the tip of the pods. Kınalı Bornova okra is a mid-season okra with excellent flavor.

Packet has min. 30 seeds

Commercially introduced by us in the U.S.

  • Ideal growing temperature: 75-90F

  • Growth habit: Upright growth with branches that grow away from the stem
  • Growing tips: Soak okra seeds overnight in water. Plant seeds next day indoors in seedling trays or small seedling pots with seed starting soil that has essential nutrients in it, 3-4 weeks prior to last frost. Keep the soil moist for quick germination. Make sure to keep the young okra seedlings under good light to have strong plants with sturdy, healthy stems and leaves. Transplant after last frost in well-drained, fertile soil enrichened with compost and other amendments. Feed your okra plants with liquid fertilizer once every two weeks. Water regularly especially in flower stage. Mulch and always water at plant base to minimize disease. Some okra varieties are taller than others and may need to be tied to a stake so that fruits don’t touch soil and rot. Alternatively, you can also direct-seed after last frost in spring.

    Good okra. Tender to a large size. Not as productive as some. Good germination.

    The seeds were slow to germinate and did not produce any okra. The plants grew and were comparable to the other okra plants growing around it. I’m guessing and hoping that an earlier start in the spring time will produce the results I’m looking for. I’m in zone 7B, Central Arkansas.
