Jute, Bush Okra
A tropical plant. It is mostly coastal, below 250 m altitude. Temperatures of 22°-35°C are suitable. It can stand both drought (2-3 weeks) and water-logging, except when young. A well drained soil is best. They require humus-rich soils. A pH of 5.5-7.0 is best, but they can grow in soils with pH up to 8.5. They also need adequate moisture for good leaf production. A rainfall of 1,000 mm is suitable. A high relative humidity (80-90%) is best. It produces seeds when day lengths are short. In Yunnan.

Notes: There are about 100 Corchorus species. They are also put in the family Tiliaceae.
Status: It is a commercially cultivated vegetable. An important vegetable in arid areas. It may not be used a lot in Papua New Guinea. It is a part of the national dish of Egypt. Leaves are sold in local markets.
Growing Jute, Bush Okra
Cultivation: Plants grow from seed, and they can be transplanted. Seeds are often broadcast into fine seed beds at the beginning of the wet season. Mixing the small seeds with sand makes it easier to sow them evenly. Often seeds are slow to start growing. This can be overcome by soaking them in hot water. A spacing of 20-30 cm between plants is suitable. For vigorous varieties this could be increases to 45-50 cm. Seeds are saved from pods for re-sowing.
Edible Uses: The young leaves and stem tops are eaten cooked. (They are slimy unless fried.) They are also used to make a thick soup. Leaves can be sun dried, pounded to flour, then stored for a significant time.
Production: First leaves can be harvested after 5-6 weeks. Tips about 20-30 cm long are picked. Production of edible green tips, is not large. 7-8 kg of leaf tips can be harvested from 3-8 pickings over 3-4 months. Seeds can be collected after 13-15 weeks. If seeds of a particular variety are desired, it is necessary to grow these plants 16 m away from other plants, to avoid cross pollination. Seeds can be stored for 8-12 months in well sealed jars.
