It was only okay. Nothing special. I've grown better red varieties. Of course, mine struggled because it was abnormally hot and dry, but the Jing Orange struggled more than the Mammoth Spineless, Buck's Big Buck, Little Lucy and Stewart's Zeebest. It did rebound nicely in fall, but by then I was so unimpressed with it that I didn't pick the pods. Maybe I was just tired of okra by then.

I like Hill Country Red better than Jing Orange, and the word orange is a misnomer. It is just a plain old red okra like all the other plain old red orka varieties, but I knew that before I bought it. Someone who hasn't grown red okra varieties before might be expecting the orange to actually be orange but it isn't.

Thanks for the review - I'll pass it up for the Hill Country Red, probably. I also liked the Lee Okra, too. Flavor as excellent.
