This variety was bred for cultivation in the Moscow region and the Central region. We will talk about it in more detail below, since it deserves special attention.

Brief description of the variety

Despite the fact that eggplant is a thermophilic culture, it is very popular among gardeners in our country. As a rule, several certain varieties are grown each year, which give a guaranteed good result and are liked for their taste. In addition, every year they try to grow a new variety as an experimental one. Perhaps the yield will be so high that it will take its rightful place in the permanent collection. Let’s talk about the Samurai Sword variety. Its main characteristics are shown in the table below.

Cultivation details

Coming to the store to buy eggplant seeds in winter, you need to understand that all varieties will be demanding on certain conditions:

• warm conditions;
• timely watering;
• good lighting;
• looseness of the soil.

Eggplant is a rather capricious plant. Such stability is a big plus when growing. This means that the gardener will not need to spend a huge amount of time caring for seedlings and mature plants.

The eggplant “Samurai Sword” passed the soil control, which means that all the seeds were previously planted in the ground by specialists, and a crop was obtained from them. This makes it possible:

• determine germination;
• establish the energy of germination and, in fact, growth;
• confirm the quality and yield of the variety.

Eggplant is a non-native crop for Our Country, so everyone who has encountered cultivation believes that it is difficult, since it is problematic to maintain the optimum temperature for a long growing period. Please note that even such a medium-early eggplant variety as the Samurai Sword ripens within 110-120 days from the moment the first shoots appear. That is why the whole growing process is divided into two stages:

• growing seedlings;
• planting and growing seedlings in the ground.

Growing seedlings

Seeds of the Samurai Sword variety are planted in separate cups so that the plant does not suffer during transplantation. As a rule, in central Our Country, seed planting begins on March 10 and ends on March 20.

Deepen the seeds by 1 centimeter, no more. In this case, the soil must be moist. If there is not enough sunlight, the seedlings will have to be illuminated. This is very important because eggplants love light and warmth. Additionally, you need to move the seedlings at night to a cooler place. This will create conditions close to real.

Planting seedlings in open ground

When transplanting seedlings of the Samurai Sword variety, you will need to do this according to the 70×40 scheme. If you follow the time of planting the seeds, then you can transplant the eggplant in open or closed ground already between May 20 and 30. Before planting, organic fertilizers are applied, which eggplants love very much.

This variety of eggplant gives a rich harvest. It is noted that from 4 to 5 kilograms of long fruits with excellent taste will be collected from one square meter. The eggplants themselves will be elongated, long. The plant is semi-spreading, its height is 60 centimeters and below with a large number of leaves. It is not necessary to plant this variety in partial shade, since it is the foliage that will give the necessary protection of the fruit from bright sunlight.
