WANTED: Marbled asian Eggplant

13 years ago

Hi,

I'm relatively new to gardening, but extremely interested. This year I've started and grown successfully, sweet corn, zucchini, okra, radishes, papaya, mango and rockmelon. However, I've always wanted to have eggplants, the smaller, marbled, asian variety (which i can't seem to find seeds in any store at all).

If anyone has any could they give me some? I have some commercial zucchini, okra and pumpkin seeds I can offer in return. Thanks,

Jason

As far as I can tell, you are out of luck. Burpee was the developer, grower and seller of this variety and they have discontinued it. No one else seems to have carried it. It was sold by Amazon, however they have discontinued it also. It's a hybrid so even if you could locate some seed to grow out, it would do you no good to try to save seed for later planting. I'm sorry, it's so hard to lose a favorite variety like that. Jim of Seedman has an eggplant that he lists as a "baby" variety. Perhaps it will help? Here is a copy of his listing and a link to it. Eggplant G026 Baby Eggplant A new mini vegetable. Plants are compact and bear loads of miniature fruit that can be deep fried whole. One of the new rages in miniature veggies. Perfect for container raising. Fruits are very tasty. 20 seeds $1.95 I'm sorry I was unable to help more. Perhaps someone else can do more for you.
