The variety thrives in very hot weather. 80-90 days from transplant. ±5,600 seeds/oz.

Really tasty heavy producer
by Rachel
This was a very heavy producer once it got going (the Asian style long eggplants were first to crop), with 6-10 fruit per plant at a time. The eggplants for this variety were best at 6-8 inches, still tender and not bitter. Much bigger than that and they get a bit too seedy, and they can get quite big! We roasted them, made dip, and also pickled Italian style.
Surprising and tasty!
by Michelle
I started this plant late last summer and just harvested my first two eggplants. They were smaller than I anticipated, about 5-6", but very tasty. Now there are about 7 or 8 more growing. Another surprise is that the one I have growing in a pot is about 4 feet tall.
