Yes Tanay

It is Solanum melongena. The species I think shows a lot of variation. The fruits are characteristic. Last week I collected what I thought some unique species of Solanum, but in ultimate analysis it turned out to be S. melongena only, although there was no trace of any prickles. I am uploading the same.

[Yazdy Palia]

Dear Friends,
Some time back I was talking to a friend in Wayanad, he was telling me
that he had in the past grafted a brinjal bud onto a tree that was of
solanum species (is it). He claimed that he used to reap around 200
kgs of brinjals from it. I have not seen the tree though. Is such a
thing possible. Is there any solanum that grows that tall?
regards
yazdy.

[Gurcharan Singh]

Solanum giganteum often grows tall and looks tree-like. S. torvum, also grows tall and may be like a small tree.

Thank You Dr. Gurcharan Singh ji,
I had succeeded in producing tomatoes on a solanum torvum. Now let me
try it on S. Giganteum.
