Striped Oval Eggplant
A very vigorous variety that grows notably tall, striped oval eggplant produces small fruits with white skin streaked by broad purple stripes, so dense it looks almost entirely dark.
The Striped Oval Eggplant Plant
It belongs to the species Solanum melongena, family Solanaceae. A tall herbaceous plant compared to other eggplant cultivars, producing numerous small, compact fruits throughout the season.
How to Sow Striped Oval Eggplant
Sow in a heated seedbed at 22-24°C between February and April, transplanting once the seedling reaches at least 5 cm in height and the risk of late frost has passed.
How to Grow Striped Oval Eggplant
It prefers fertile, well-drained soil, with a minimum night temperature around 18°C for steady growth; the plant can be topped at about 25 cm to encourage a more compact, bushy habit.
Tips for Striped Oval Eggplant
The flesh stays sweet and tender only if fruits are picked before over-ripening: beyond that stage the flavour tends towards bitter, so regular harvesting is advisable.
Diseases and Pests of Striped Oval Eggplant
This variety is fairly resistant to the most common fungal diseases of eggplant, but can still be affected by Colorado potato beetle, aphids and red spider mite, so good soil drainage remains essential.
Uses and Curiosities of Striped Oval Eggplant
Its small, low-seed fruits and tender flesh make it ideal for quick grilling and oil preserves, and its white-purple contrast is especially decorative on the table.
Properties of Striped Oval Eggplant
Rich in fibre that supports digestion, striped oval eggplant is also suitable for low-calorie diets thanks to its low calorie content and antioxidant phytonutrients.
