I'm 6'2" tall and took this photo standing up and pointing my camera nearly straight up. This plant was about 9 feet tall at the time the photo was taken. By the end of the season it and about 6 others were over 15 feet tall. I would tell a tall tale about using the stalks as fishing poles and catching monster catfish but you are in texas and probably would just think it was another one of those stories. Its Cowhorn okra if anyone is curious.
