Aubergine (Solanum melongena) - Early Long Purple
|
|
Eggplant is a frost tender, heat loving, branching bushy plant with thick, woody stems. The green to grayish green leaves are large,lobed, and alternate with the underside typically covered with spiny fuzz. Mature plants range from 1 to 8 feet in height. Although eggplant is a perennial, it is more commonly grown as an annual.
Eggplant flowers are star-shaped in various shades of purple and usually form on opposite leaves as either solitary blooms or grouped in clusters of two or more. They are perfect and primarily self-pollinating.
However, some cross-pollination can occur with the help of bees, ants and other insects. Flowering is thought to be day neutral and,
therefore, not dependent on a specific number of daylight hours.
Solanum melongena is the more commonly recognized eggplant. There are many sizes and shapes of fruit, with skin colors ranging from blackish purple to florescent purplish green to gold or white. In addition, some varieties produce lovely bicolor or striped skin. The fruit has a dense, uniform and firm, white, sweet flesh.
