Unfortunately, I and my family eat 100% gluten free. (Have for over a decade. We were Celiac before it became popular.

It it very fat full podded okra that rarely gets very tough and is considerably less slimy than many common varieties. It will get tall just like most okra varieties but I think that these will do ok in a container given that it is large enough (3 gallon or larger probably a 7 gallon would be perfect). All okra varieties can be cut back mid season when they get tall and usually continue to produce into the fall after a recovery period ( usually only a few weeks(2-3) with some added fertilizer).
Best of luck,

Thank you! And thank you for the advice.
I am pretty certain that if it grows for me here, and I'm assured it will, it will grow like a weed as well. (Here in FL, we do weeds well.) I'm definitely putting a bookmark on this thread so I'll remember to look this over again.
