    This is one of my all time favorite eggplants. It is an heirloom variety and starts producing later than many hybrids available. Once it does start - it keeps going even when the weather starts to cool. Mild flavor, high production, doesn't need peeling or any salt treatment. I grow this every season in my hot and dry summer climate.
