The normal Casper has a pure green stem; I noticed in my seedling set that 1 or 2 had purplish stems - and this is what arose!

All four went in to our first Ratatouille of the year (yum!). They were tender and mild - the flesh color of the Casper Cross was very pale green, and the other three had very white flesh.
the black casper looks more like those japanese eggplants. . i have a kermit hybrid too but unlike your Apple green, it is elongated.

this is one beautiful eggplant.
