I love my ichiban. I harvested 15 fruit just last week off one plant. The fruits are much sweeter and more tender than Black Beauty, never bitter and far more prolific.
What on earth will you do with so many eggplant? My husband and I eat it almost every night for 5 months from one ichiban and one black beauty.
My plants are just celebrated their second birthday. I started some seeds, just in case their production slows down but right now they're producing more than ever.
I started seeds for Ping Tung Long and LA Long Green just to try something different. I don't think I'll grow anymore Italian style, once my Black Beauty gives up.
