(72 days) F-1 hybrid. A classic early bell-shaped Italian-style eggplant that sets fruit and produces early and dependably in the North. June Zellers and the late Adam Tomash rated it the earliest in their trials, and almost on a par with Rosa Bianca, their favorite, for flavor. “Mild with a pudding-like texture when cooked,” they report. Plus it had larger fruit, averaging about 1 lb each, and was less fussy than Rosa. Trialer Tom Vigue used a high tunnel and reported “phenomenal” eggplants. Galine plants were “4' high and, not exaggerating, 5 lb yield per plant, easily.”⑤
