A very firm 7”-8” long oval bell type fruit with a dark glossy-black color. The plants are vigorous high-yielders that hold their fruit off the ground. They produce over a long harvest and have good holding capabilities once harvested. Delectable in Eggplant Parmesan, Ratatouille, and Baby Ghanoush. Eggplants need hot temperatures for good yields, and do well in this area with raised beds and/or black plastic. Floating row covers can also help raise the temperatures a bit and more importantly keep bugs out.
