African Eggplant 'African Sweet' (EW12-025) F1

  • Product number: 013960
  • Origin: Africa
  • Latin: Solanum aethiopicum

Oval-round, slightly ribbed, small fruits (40 g) as they are known and very popular in Africa. This variety ripens to a glossy light green color. The very mild aroma (almost sweet) fits well in Mediterranean, European dishes. This professional variety produces many small fruits mid-early. The growth vigor of the slender plants is greater than traditional varieties, and the plants can be planted quite close together in the greenhouse.

Latin: Solanum aethiopicum
