Answer:
Yes. You'll definitely notice that your okra plants are growing a lot faster.
How we can prove: Let's analyze some data from the USDA on okra yields on an average farm. As you can see, the average yields of the 3 okra types are about the same
(1 oz. per 100 sq ft - okra-like okra). Yet all okra crops are very different in color and morphology. We know for sure that this difference will affect the way it'll grow in your garden.
Now, lets talk about the time it takes your okra to grow.
If we use data from the USDA from the yield of okra, we can see that all okra crops take between 20-30 days to germinate, develop and flower. But okra-like okra takes 10 to 12 days longer to reach the mature stage than okra.
This means you'll spend more time in the garden!
