Details
Also known as Scarlet or Ethiopian Eggplants, Mock Tomato Mini Pumpkins, and Japanese Golden Eggs. Turkish Orange eggplants are orange with stripes and have a charming round shape. They have an incredibly rich, non-bitter flavor when harvested young, before turning orange. The plants are compact enough for patio containers, so no need for a lot of garden space!
