White Star F1
3004 Rhapsody F1 80 days. Parthenocarpic eggplant,
the first we've seen in commerce. Able to
produce fruit without pollination, and when
grown in isolation from other eggplant varieties,
the ovules do not develop into seed, but remain
soft and light colored, enabling the production of
eggplant with "seedless" flesh. This variety should
be tested for introduction of extra-high quality
fruit. Since seed are not set, fruit quality should
tend to last longer on plant and in storage, and the
flesh would resist developing the bitterness associated
with maturing seed. Fruit are oblong, avg, 8"
x 4", with deep black-purple skin and green calyx.
Flesh is firm, sweet and capable of very high quality.
Fresh Mkt, Restaurant, Shipping.
