| Quite inferior--Poor germination, very poor yield. Especially when grown in a small garden because the plants are too big to fit well and do not produce enough fruit to justify all the space they take up. Ugly, dull looking fruit with poor flavor too. |

| I planted two of these. The plants grew rapidly and are constantly fruiting. From the two plants, I have gotten 1-4 large fruits a day throughout the fruiting season. My only complaint is that the plants are larger than any eggplant I have experience with. My research on eggplant spacing lead me to believe that they would be 1.5-2 feet across. They are probably 4 feet across, and 5 feet tall. If I had a longer growing season, I'd be seriously concerned about reigning them in. |

| Of my two plants, only one fruited. It has produced only 2 smallish eggplants (4"). Not pretty- just a dull off white color. I won't grow this again. |
