Solanum melongena

Ping Tung is a outstanding brinjal that is named after its native town in Taiwan. The skin is a light purple and darkens with maturity and they have a superbly sweet flavour and tender flesh. These long fruits are very easy to work with and are often greatly enjoyed in Ratatouille.

Not only will these guys produce amazing fruits, your bees will also be able to benefit from their stunning flowers!

Gorgeous! I love this plant so much! After being disappointed by a rash of bitter aubergines bought from the store I decided to try grow some and was drawn to the reassurance that this variety is known for it's sweetness. I can wholeheartedly confirm this!
Relatively easy to grow and the bush itself is so pretty! My plants have grown to about 3ft in height and the same in width - beautiful large dark green leaves with a dark purple vein and stem, flowers are a large violet bloom with a neon yellow centre which the bees seem unable to resist. From just one plant I reckon we've eaten a good 16 fruits and it's still going strong. It's also seeming to love my hot climate and doesn't seem to suffer from dry spells when they do occur. I really do love this variety!
