Description

Old variety from the province of Mugla in south-west Turkey. The dark purple, shiny fruits are extremely long - up to 40 cm! They grow bent in a crescent shape as well as in a spiral. The white flesh never turns bitter and the taste is excellent. Obtained in the USA via an emigrant of Turkish origin.

Growing tips

You should grow eggplants in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny, warm location. To prevent the plants from bending, you can tie them up. As with tomatoes, side shoots should be removed by breaking them off directly at the base. From time to time, it is worth removing some of the fruit shoots so that the remaining fruit ripens better.
