Clemson Spineless Okra Issue...

28-05-2010, 08:37 AM

I have two clemson plants that have been doing really well over the last few weeks. Both are well over 14 inchs tall and seem to be growing like crazy. I noticed that two okra pods formed on both plants and today I noticed they were brown and dried up completely. Just fell off once I touched them. Any ideas what is causing this? Thanks!

Hello, welcome to the vine.

Never grown it, but isn't it a hot climate crop? The cold weather could have done for them.
Alternatives are, if they are grown inside, not the right conditions, or, too hot, too humid, too dry, too wet.
I suspect the list continues

Here you go
Rotting of small pods after the flowers drop is a fairly common problem with okra. Planting the crop in full sun and providing good air movement through the planting will help to reduce the problem. Proper plant spacing will also help to minimize this problem. The exact cause of this disorder is not known. Small bumps sometimes develop on the pod. This damage is not caused by the stink bug. The cause of these small bumps is not known

Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.
