White Star has a classic, tapered, teardrop shape and white fruit that are very sweet. The 5-7" long fruit are smooth when mature. The tall, vigorous plants are high yielding and provide good coverage to the fruit. 75 Days to mature.
Eggplants want full sun and very warm conditions for best production. Amend soil with plenty of compost and a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Space plants 1.5 feet apart and water regularly. Support these heavy bearing plants with a tomato cage or sturdy stakes.
Harvest when fruits are full size and fully colored up. Use in any of your favorite eggplant recipes. They are delicious in thick slices simply brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt and herbs and baked, or go all out with the Eggplant Parmesan! Its flavor pairs perfectly with a blend of ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses,topped with tomato sauce.
