Commonly Asked Questions
Do aubergine plants come back every year?
No, aubergines are typically grown as annuals because they lack frost or cold tolerance and usually do not survive winter in cooler regions.
How many aubergines can you get from one plant?
An aubergine plant generally produces 4 to 6 large fruits. Plants with smaller, round fruits can support many more, especially if harvested and watered consistently.
Do aubergines need full sun?
Yes, aubergines thrive in full sun. They require 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and warmth to grow and produce fruit effectively.
Do you prune aubergine plants?
Yes, when aubergine plants reach about 30cm (1ft) tall, pinch out the tip of the main stem to encourage side-shoots, which results in bushier plants and increases fruit production.
Do aubergines need a trellis?
Aubergine plants benefit from support. Using bamboo or hazel stakes helps keep the plants upright, preventing fruits and leaves from touching the ground.
Aubergine 'Moneymaker' is a reliable variety known for its lots of glossy, deep purple fruits. Perfect for any garden, this plant is easy to grow and produces tasty aubergines with a rich flavour.
