Eggplant Casper

Casper produces 5-7 inch long fruit . It is a beautiful ivory white with succulent mushroom-like flavor and the plants are very productive. These produced slowly in the spring and did even worse in the high heat and humidity of mid-summer, but in late summer they've been producing like crazy. Easy to germinate and under the right conditions they seem to produce quite a bit.
