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.

My first eggplant harvest was bountiful without any pruning. They grew huge and I was giving away eggplants everyday for an entire season.

@marryb7885 Год назад

Same here I planted 6 eggplants. I only prune some lower leaves but left all suckers on. The plant stems are really thick like a tree branch very strong and I didn’t need any string support or stake. Still giving me loads of fruits everyday. Love it!

I know the feeling of wanting to garden and experiment and enjoy it, however, I have 3' eggplants, and I never prune and I get abundant Purple Heirloom, and Shooting Stars, and Black Beauties. Those leaves didn't grow on accident. They are feeder leaves and unless you see true fungal rot , let those gorgeous feeder leaves feed the plant and the bigger the plant, the more and better fruit you will get. I prune young plants for stability like peppers and more growth but I baby my eggplants and never take a blade to them. I do LOVE your vertical trellis, I have miles of the bailing string and u reminded me to trellis my National Pickling Cucumbers. Great vid!!

@buzzvideoz1822 3 года назад

Ikr.. commercial growers doesn't even remove suckers or top their solanaecous plants.. they still prune or remove sick and infected leaves.. they harvest a ton regardless of organic or synthetic fertilizer they use.

I bought my first eggplant...plant, today. Somehow, I knew that I had to treat it like a tomato plant. The first RU-vid video that I watched, this one, confirmed my thoughts. So, now, I'm wondering if all water vegetable plants should be treated as a tomato plant would be.

Hi,like to check with you the flowers of the eggplant easily dropped off wonder why. Thanks

@fauxurfancy 3 года назад

What kind of eggplant are you growing? The big ones? I grow the long skinny eggplant and o don’t prune suckers. I always have a large harvest cause i do not prune. I can understand pruning the large heavy ones but not the long skinny ones. I do remove the lower leaves for airflow and to prevent disease from water splash on the leaves.

In pollination How do you know the males from the female?

@richardmang2558 2 года назад

The males produce the pollen. So look for the part covered in yellow pollen for the male part.

Sorry, i left the suckers and my plant yielded more fruits. I only removed 4 lower leaves that were near the ground.

@tessiegalindez4874 4 года назад

You didn't identify as to which one is male or female when you pollinate the eggplant. Thank u for the tips😊

@ceciliamitchell4443 3 года назад

The male and female parts are both on the same flower. The Male pollen is on the small yellow parts and the female part is the purple-ish single stem that comes out from between all the yellow ones. So, he's brushing the pollen down the yellow pieces onto the purple stem to pollinate.

@jesussaves9886 Год назад

My eggplant is making flowers but not producing fruit . And now the poor plant is infested with ants . What to do ☹️

@ethanboyd7843 4 года назад

Just saying give the creator and millions of not billions of evolution a chance. Man plans, God Laughs, but what a pleasure! LOVE your stuff and ideas and style, but brother you are shorting yourself big time on productivity, Pick up yellow and dropped leaves that are likely to cause a fungus but let the good man above grow them for you. You make the dirt and the environment perfect, let him feed you. When I learn I'm wrong Im gonna be asking questions lol. Added you on twittter.

@neverlostforwords 6 лет назад

This works well. Summer just ended here in Australia and I applied this method to loads of eggplant plants and have had great success. I hand pollinate and don't rely on the bees. I prune and I pick the fruit when it looks edible or when we need food for dinner. I water daily so the plant does not get stressed and use high potash fertiliser (here there is a good one called "Sudden Impact for Roses"). Even in the bright sun I don't shade the plants as they love the heat.

@Legacy_125 7 лет назад
