Yamula is a traditional eggplant from Kayseri, Turkey. High yielding plants produce 10″ gorgeous fruits with bright, dark purple stripes. Excellent flavor.
We were hoping to introduce this seed in 2022 but had a crop failure then. We are thrilled to offer it in our 2024 catalog!
Our current seed stock was grown by Hank Keogh and Jo Erikson of Avoca Seed in Corvallis, OR. Avoca Seed is certified organic by Oregon Tilth.
