This type is highly productive, with powdery mildew resistance and good heat tolerance. They are picked while still young and tender and eaten cooked as a vegetable or stuffed with minced meat. Most will not need peeling when picked young. Plants may need to be supported so that the long fruits will grow straight. Otherwise, grow them as you would regular eggplants .
Plants are heavy-yielding and tolerate extreme heat and wetness.
