The Black Beauty Eggplant is a 1902 Heirloom. Broad, attractive fruits on sturdy, tall plants. Flavor & quality are just as good as hybrids, if not better, but definitely later. Harvest: When fruit is shiny and smooth, before losing its luster. Use a sharp instrument to cut the eggplants from the plant. Pick the first fruits when they reach usable size, this helps accelerate the growth of the other eggplants on the plant.
