An Israeli variety, Star of David Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus 'Star of David') grows 6 to 10' tall. The plant produces giant 5- to 9-inch-long ornamental pods with medium spines if left to mature. Best picked about 3" long. Named because pod cross-sections look like the Star of David. Quite unusual and somewhat rare. Use as an edible garden plant or decorative annual. "Either pick 'em or leave 'em". 60 - 75 days to maturity.
