This is one of the prettiest fruits of any eggplant. Extremely productive and uniform. Fruits are harder and crispier than most. Large plant that is very sturdy and holds fruit up well, but will fall over at times. Staking not essential, but advisable.

Very sturdy plants, but very slow to produce fruit in the North.
