The Kolombo eggplant variety is an early-maturing type that begins to bear fruit 70-80 days after planting. Plants reach a height of about 70 centimeters, making them suitable for cultivation under various conditions. The fruits have a round-oval shape and measure 13 to 15 centimeters in length, which is the optimal size for preparing various dishes.
The flesh of Kolombo eggplants is whitish-green, dense, and free of bitterness, significantly enhancing their taste. This variety is especially valued for its dietary and medicinal properties, as well as its excellent taste, which will particularly appeal to lovers of stewed vegetables and other culinary delights.
The optimal temperature for growing Kolombo eggplants is 23 to 28 degrees Celsius. When temperatures drop below 15 degrees, pollination ceases, and flowers and buds drop off, which should be taken into account during cultivation. The variety is characterized by high yield, allowing for abundant and high-quality harvests even at early stages.
