WOW!

by

Have a hard time growing eggplant up here in coastal Zone 7A. But these Bad Boys are still producing a lot of no-seed fruit August 22nd! The Bees love them and they haven't minded the high humidity we get, not to mention how wet this summer has been. Just put it in my wish list for next year. My new "go to" eggplant variety!

Excellent eggplant variety

by

We've grown these the last couple of years and they're great! Productive and tasty. Larger than standard ichiban eggplant. Highly recommended.

Great for Small Gardens and Never Bitter

by

Highly recommended for small gardens and small batch cooking. My raised bed is 8' X 4', so I could grow the Pingtung and still have room for other veggies. Unlike some eggplant, they are not bitter, so they don't require salting and rinsing before cooking. Perfect for a stir fry or saute.
