Why prune and hand pollinate Eggplant? Pruning any plant properly will increase production, reduce stress on the plant, allow more air and light to get through for a healthier, disease free plant. Hand pollinating is also important in case the insect pollinators can't get out and do the job because of bad weather.

Thank you

Very helpful information. Thank you.

Are you guys all nuts hier. I love eggplants, but I do not make love with them. They can have babies without our help. Let's say: they can f_ _k themselves. They are Hermaphroditic – Plants with perfect flowers. Mostly they are alredy pollinated when the flowers open.

Do you grow Japanese Eggplant also? I'm trying to find out how to prune Japanese Eggplant, but they tend to grow vertically from a single stem, rather than multiple stems like the Black Beauty.
