I read occasionally Eggplants can have thorns on leaves, a throwback to wild eggplant. Some varieties are more prone to this occurring . I have tried growing MANY varieties but never got any thorns on leaves. I'm asking if anyone body has gotten thorny eggplant if they could save a few seeds to give me so I can grow spiny eggplant. White eggplant preferred but any with thorns are ok. Photo below an example.
