| Slim 4-5" white eggplants borne in clusters of 3-5 or more, plants bloom heavily & are actually attractive when flowering, mild non-bitter flavor good but I would have liked it a little stronger (perhaps just a question of taste), bore continuously, yield outstanding in pots but just OK in ground, stem & calyx can be thorny, similar to Casper but smaller fruit & more dependable, I highly recommend it for pot culture |

| Slow growth. Minimal yield but very good flavor. I may have placed these plants too close to one another, which may explain the meager results. Give these plants plenty of space. |
