I don't know what the world record is for the diameter of an okra plant. I would imagine that my 2 inch plant isn't even close. I wish I could tell you how tall it is but I haven’t been able to see or reach the top in weeks (slight exaggeration). This is an instance in which size really doesn't matter. (Reference to my long ago post regarding size of containers needed for my Meyer lemon tree and Satsuma orange tree which I never actually resolved). Speaking of containers, if you live in the Dallas area, the Garden Ridge store off of I-35 in Lewisville has all of their outdoor and indoor containers (fiberglass, plastic, clay, glazed, decorative, large and small, etc.) for 50% off through September 13th, and there must be at least a thousand to choose from.
