Earliest white eggplant is highly productive, producing clusters of glossy mini-fruit that are tender and non-bitter. Indeterminate, 3-ft. (91-cm) plants can be grown in-ground or in large containers, with or without support. More productive and 5 to 7 days earlier to ripen than O.P. types. Slightly larger plant with slightly smaller fruit than Hansel. All-America Selections Winner. Early-maturing, highly productive variety produces clusters of glossy, black-purple eggplants. Non-bitter, tender fruit can be used in many culinary recipes. Like white Gretel, the petite, 3-ft. (91-cm) plants can be grown in-ground or in large containers, with or without support. All-America Selections Winner. Unique, high-yielding, compact variety produces baby-size eggplants very early, and continues producing throughout the season.
