FB-Saket F1 is a short intermodal okra hybrid carrying 4-6 branches, so pods set close together and picking stays quick. Pods are dark green, smooth and uniform at 8-10 cm - the tender size the fresh market pays a premium for. Resistance to YVMV and ELCV keeps the plant productive across the main and late seasons.
