(75 days) F-1 hybrid. An eggplant sui generis as the architectural work of its Catalan namesake Antoni Gaudí. Dark purple 7–8" tapered half-long bell-shaped fruit with a thornless light green calyx. Early and productive in two very different Maine trial seasons—the first, a cool meh of a year, then 2020 with its heat and drought. Lovely harvests both years, with fruits holding deep full color into advanced maturity. Adorable and delish at 4–5" baby size. Gardener Dan Gindes in coastal Massachusetts harvested bountiful small fruits until the first week of November! The breeder notes that under stress thorns may form, but in years with sub-optimal conditions we’ve waded through the eggplant patch without a single baba gan-ouch! Our trials were in the field, but it’s also recommended for high tunnels—let us know your results if you give it a try. ⑥
