Eggplant, Diamond 

Solanum melongena 

(70 days to maturity from transplanting)

Collected from the Ukraine by SSE in 1993. Fruits are set in clusters of 4-6 on 2' tall plants. Dark purple fruits with green tinted flesh are 9" long by 3" in diameter. Excellent texture and flavor, rarely bitter. Disease resistant. Fruits are smaller and a more manageable size than the standard Black Beauty types.  They are also unique in that they tend to produce a consistent early flush of fruits.  FER
