Invite a ghost into your garden! This variety of aubergine produces fruits which by their oval shape and, above all, their white color are reminiscent of the famous ghost. These fruits are abundant, and mature quickly. Full of small ghosts, about 25 cm! The taste of Casper eggplant is sweet and aromatic, with a small note reminiscent of mushrooms, and its flesh is tender. It cooks wonderfully in soups, stews, roasts, ratatouilles, with other vegetables, or simply fried. It will do just as well in pots on the balcony as in the ground. **The germination rate being lower this year, the quantity of seeds in the bag has been doubled** MAINTENANCE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Benefits from staking to prevent the branches from breaking under the weight of the fruit.
