A very early 8-10 inch Asian hybrid that is the quickest to produce of any variety that I have tried. Flavor is good and early production is fantastic. It is also quick to shut down so you get a great early flush of fruits, but the plant tends to quit at about the time other eggplants are reaching their maximum production.Just trialed Black Shine which is even quicker to produce.
