Thai White Ribbed

[nctomatoman]

Here is a type I've not seen before...seeds from my friend Jeff via Baker Creek, I think (though it is no longer listed there)

Thai White Ribbed -

White flower -



Sprawling plant -



Very odd highly ribbed/ridged fruit -



Anyone ever tried this or something like it? I have no idea when to pick it (how big it will get!)

Those look interesting. I like both white and Thai eggplants alot. I know most of the Thai varieties are smaller than the Italian types. I have grown Chinese white sword and I try to pick them just as they are looking not quite as shiny or glossy.
Sandhill lists a variety this year Thai White Ribbed -80 days. Hand sized, ribby , white skinned fruits.

Thanks! Went back to my Seed spreadsheet and I had it wrong. Must be the same variety. I edited my post to correct my error.
