Eggplant White Teardrop Shaped Seeds – F1 Hybrid | SUMMER / WINTER

Eggplant White Teardrop is a distinctive F1 Hybrid white brinjal producing smooth, creamy-white fruits with an attractive teardrop shape.

Your current GREEN GARDENS listing identifies this selection as DUBAI F1, with the fruit characteristics associated with a White Star-type teardrop eggplant.

The fruits develop tender flesh and a mild flavour, making them suitable for harvesting either as baby eggplants or at full size.

Unlike common dark-purple brinjals, the creamy-white skin gives this variety a distinctive appearance in both the garden and kitchen.

Plants are vigorous and productive under warm conditions and may benefit from staking when carrying a heavy fruit load.

For the best eating quality, harvest fruits before the white skin begins to turn yellow.

Exact fruit size, maturity and yield can vary according to temperature, soil fertility, irrigation and crop management.

Growing Instructions from Seeds

1. Sowing

Start seeds in nursery trays, seedling cells or small pots.

Sow approximately:

0.5–1 cm deep

Cover lightly with fine growing medium.

Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.

2. Germination

Seeds generally germinate within:

7–14 days

under suitably warm conditions.

Maintain approximately:

22°C–35°C

for strong germination and early seedling growth.

3. Sunlight

Provide:

6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily

Full sun supports strong branching, flowering and fruit development.

4. Transplanting

Transplant seedlings when they have approximately:

4–5 true leaves

and are healthy and well established.

Harden seedlings gradually before permanent transplanting.

Water immediately after transplanting.

5. Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

45–60 cm between plants

This gives enough room for branching growth, airflow and fruit development.

6. Plant Growth & Support

White Teardrop Eggplant develops a vigorous upright or spreading plant.

Plants may reach approximately:

75–90 cm tall

under suitable conditions.

Provide support if needed using:

• Bamboo stakes
• Plant support rings
• Small frames

Staking helps prevent branches from bending under a heavy fruit load.

7. Watering

Maintain even soil moisture throughout the growing period.

Water requirements increase during:

• Flowering
• Fruit setting
• Fruit enlargement

Avoid severe drying followed by excessive watering.

Do not allow the root zone to remain continuously waterlogged.

8. Feeding

Before transplanting, incorporate GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost 🔗.

During flowering and fruit production, balanced supplementary feeding can help support continuous harvesting.

Avoid excessive nitrogen because it may encourage excessive foliage at the expense of fruiting.

9. Flowering & Pollination

Eggplant flowers are generally capable of self-pollination.

Wind, vibration and visiting insects can improve pollen movement.

Very high temperatures or moisture stress may cause some flowers to drop before fruit set.

10. Baby Fruit Harvest

This variety can be harvested as a baby vegetable.

For baby harvesting, pick fruits at approximately:

7–10 cm long

while they are glossy, creamy white and tender.

11. Full-Size Harvest

For larger fruits, allow them to reach approximately:

12–18 cm long

while the skin remains smooth and white.

Do not leave fruits until the skin begins turning yellow.

12. Harvesting

Under suitable growing conditions, the first harvest may begin approximately:

60–70 days after transplanting.

Pick fruits regularly to encourage continued production.

Use clean scissors or pruning snips to avoid damaging branches.
