Product Description

Potaubergine Slim Jim produces a large quantity of organically grown, delicious-tasting, soft purple (mauve) aubergines. The aubergines ripen from green to light purple (mauve). Each aubergine can grow up to 15 cm long and 3 cm in diameter. This variety can be grown in large pots. Aubergines do need a lot of heat, light and nutrition to grow well. Slim Jim has a delicious creamy flavour. Pick the fruits as soon as they are about 10 cm long. They have the best flavour then. Once the plant starts producing fruit, it is necessary to give some liquid nutrition every week. E.g. organic tomato focus is very suitable. Harvest the fruits as often as possible to maintain production. Potaubergine Slim Jim is medium-early ripening.
