Very attractive and highly productive small plant with tiny eggplants. Note: the eggplants need to be picked quickly when they reach the size of an egg. Otherwise, they become tough and seedy. You will not get a large eggplant from this plant. They stay small. Some evidence of disease and insect activity on leaves, but not significant.

Germinated well but transplant took a while to get growing. Produced quite late for a patio variety and not very prolific but then late in the season produced enough pretty little eggplants to make a tagine, which was delicious. Not sure I would plant in a garden (maybe better in a pot), got lost in the crowded bed.

Tiny eggplants is a silly idea. there is so little \'meat\' that it is not worth bothering with. I don\'t care for eggplant except to make Baba Ganoush. But after roasting, there wasn\'t anything left.\r\nKind of like those mini-butternut squash. A lot of work for one small meal.
