(Solanum melongena) 70 days. Open polinated. What a great eggplant for northern gardeners! Applegreen is round, pale green, and very delicious. The fruits are 6"x4" and mild with non-bitter flesh. Produces early and abundantly on a modest sized plant. Developed by the late Dr. Elwyn Meador at the University of New Hampshire for northern gardeners, but also does very well in warmer climates. Keeps producing until frost if kept picked. Germinated at 98% on 12/23/11 Details: Lifecycle: 1    (0: N/A, 1: annual, 2: perennial, 3: biennial) Heirloom: no Container Planting: yes Cultural Requirements: Soil: Adaptable. Eggplants appreciate a quality nitrogen source like alfalfa meal. Propagation / Germination: Start seeds indoors 6 to 7 weeks before last frost. Keep soil lightly moist, not wet. 85 degrees is ideal, but any where from 75 to 90 degrees will work okay. Sun: Full sun. Eggplants love heat. Water: Water weekly if necessary. Do not mulch until soil has warmed thoroughly. Pests and Diseases: Flea beetles and Colorado potato bugs can harm early plantings. We wait until weather is very warm and summery before planting out so plants will grow fast and outgrow the flea beetles. Hand pick potato bugs.
