Eggplants, also called aubergines, are members of the nightshade family and are thought to have been domesticated independently in two separate regions of Asia. Actually a perennial in the tropics, eggplants are more commonly grown as annuals in temperate climates like those found in most of the US. Technically a berry, the fruits of this plant are harvested before full maturity to avoid the many hard seeds which will eventually form inside. Plants have large, lobed, coarse leaves and white to purple flowers. Because some people can have a mild allergic skin reaction after handling eggplant, you might want to wear gloves when harvesting this glossy and meaty fruit.

CLIMATE:
The Japanese White Egg eggplant variety will give you an “egg” harvest without the chicken flock! Small 2–3″ fruits are pure white and oval shaped, with minimal bitterness. Compact plants do well with fighting off pests and diseases and are great for a container garden or patio.
Grows best in warm, tropical to subtropical climates, where they can survive year round as a short lived perennial. If growing in an area with a short warm season, start plants indoors early, grow in dark-colored raised containers, and use row covers. Plants will do best and set the most fruit when temperatures are between 65-90°F.

PRUNING: You can pick off flowers to keep only 4–5 actively growing fruits per plant if you want bigger fruit. If growing eggplant as a perennial in tropical areas, prune plants heavily at least once a year.

SUPPORT: Use cages or stakes to provide support for larger plants.

Gardening for happiness!
