I grew Fairy Tale for the first time this year. It's a compact plant that was very prolific for me. I grew three of them in a big container and they're just slowing down now, after a little over two months of productivity. The eggplants are small, best picked less than 4" long. They are beautifully striped with purple against white; flavor is mild and seeds are quite small. I received seedlings from a gardening friend; even though I prefer open-pollinated varieties like Casper, Fairy Tale is one I'd probably grow again if I had seed.
