I grow many egg plants of Thai origin, so many that nobody eats including those in the video.
YES :The pea eggplant (Solanum torvum?)
NO: The green eggplant (S. virginianum?) they are Solanum melongena, actually they originate in SE Asia, so they are they precursors of the modern eggplant. Some F1 hybrids are very vigorous, fast growing and disease resistant.
If you need seeds to grow PM, but it's quite late now for your climate.
