What varities of heirloom Japanese eggplants do you like best. I'm looking for high producers as my space is limited.

Kamo and mitoyo. First is big and round, second is long.

Those are Japanese, there are many others from other Asian countries.

As a follow up after trying several varieties, I've had by far the best success with Pingtung Long. It was delicious and beatiful and very prolific in our area which is San Diego.

Ichiban has been the only eggplant that can stand up to our nematode problem. I will try some Ping Tung Long this year.
