The second year I planted okra, I was hyper excited, because one plant in the patch didn't succumb to the first hint of a fall frost... It succumbed the next night to approximately the same conditions.
Nevertheless, that plant produced a fruit, and I replanted the seeds. Last fall, I harvested okra the day I did the fall tilling of the fields on the 1st of November. Most of the okra had died from cold about 8 weeks earlier.
Sure seems like there is a lot of diversity within okra that hasn't been fully explored.
