Description

Ping Tung Eggplant | Solanum melongena

Ping Tung quickly became a favorite around here. The shape makes it easy to handle and use in the kitchen and its flavor is exceptional. The plant does extremely well overall in the north. It sets fruit earlier than most varieties and keeps producing into the fall, and even though the fruits are smaller, the overall yield is higher. Harvest fruits when young, about 4" for a delicate treat, or let them grow full size to 12-15" long.

Details

Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, then transplant 24" apart once danger of frost has passed and soil is warm--usually 2-3 weeks after last frost. Cover immediately with row cover, as flea beetles love to devour eggplant leaves. Eggplants want heat; choose your sunniest spot for them. Give them ample water, drip irrigation is best. Harvest Ping Tung when fruit are between 6-12" long.
