Elephant Tusk Okra Seeds – Extra Long and Tender Bhindi for Indian Gardens

Elephant Tusk Okra is a unique and high-yielding variety known for its extra-long, slender pods and tender texture. The fruits can grow up to 8 to 10 inches in length while remaining soft and ideal for cooking. This variety grows well in warm and humid climates, making it suitable for most parts of India during summer and monsoon seasons.

Sow the seeds directly in garden beds or grow bags. Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost. Soak the seeds in water for 8 to 10 hours before sowing to improve germination. Sow the seeds about one inch deep with a spacing of 12 to 15 inches between plants. Germination occurs in 5 to 8 days.

Water the plants regularly and avoid water stagnation. Apply organic fertilizer every 15 to 20 days to promote healthy growth and flowering. The plant begins flowering in 40 to 45 days, and harvesting can start from the 50th day onwards. Pick the pods when they are long, bright green, and tender to ensure best taste and continuous yield.

Elephant Tusk Okra is ideal for terrace gardens, grow bags, open plots, and kitchen gardens. With proper care, this variety produces a long harvesting window and attractive yields across all Indian regions.
