How to Grow Cluster Eggplant
It prefers fertile, well-drained soil, sunny exposure and regular watering; its high productivity calls for supporting fertilisation throughout the growing cycle.
Tips for Cluster Eggplant
Harvest while the fruits are still small and firm, the ideal condition for subsequent processing and preserving in oil.
Diseases and Pests of Cluster Eggplant
Like other eggplants it can be affected by Colorado potato beetle, aphids and red spider mite; good soil drainage prevents root rot after heavy rain.
Uses and Curiosities of Cluster Eggplant
The small clustered fruits are perfect blanched and preserved in oil with flavourings such as garlic, chilli and oregano, following the tradition of Southern Italian home preserves.
