When to Harvest Asian Eggplant Fingers?
Comments (5)I haven't grown that particular type of eggplant, but I have grown long Asian purple varieties. I find that when ripe, the fruits will give slightly when squeezed.

If the Australian finger lime takes after the normal lime, you should get fruits quickly no matter what (regular limes fruit from seedlings 3-5 years). And I assume the red is a mature scion graft, so I'd expect blooms within 2 years given good care (and certainly possible within 1)....See Morekcandmilo
