I'm very close to planting those seeds (and 3 other varieties), and I'm looking forward to sampling them! Thanks again!

I was surprised to see little thorns growing on the back of some of the Matrosik leaves. I've never had an eggplant like that before.

Those thorns surprised me too. She'll get a lot of them on her cap too, so be careful! (Worth it, wait until you taste!)

@Ginger2778 I will be starting mine shortly. Thanks again for the seed!

I remember those thorns on a lot of the fruit calyxes, one of the worst was those on a favorite variety of mine (until they stopped making it, since it was a hybrid) - Neon. I just made sure to harvest carefully, and avoid them when removing from the fruit!

For sure! I find that if you handle it on the blossom end you can do it safely.
I remember reading about Neon but never tried them.They must have been delicious.
I have only ever grown OP ones, but I am so happy with these and Rosita.
