The heaviest-bearing eggplant is also the most delicious. Amadeo is renowned for its huge yields of succulent, nutty, bitterfree fruit on spineless plants. Easy to pick and irresistible on the tongue, this is the eggplant you need for the veggie patch.

Amadeo is a spineless plant reaching about 3 feet high, well-branched and vigorous. You will probably need to support it once it begins bearing the heavy 5-inch-wide, 8-inch-long dark purple to black eggplants—the bounty is simply too great for this compact plant to hold up alone.

The fruit is nutty and tender, with a rich flavor that is never bitter. The highest-quality eating eggplant we have ever grown, Amadeo is simply delicious.

These are uniform, oval fruits. Enjoy bumper crops every year with Amadeo.
