The purple brinjal plant seems very healthy and happy in the large pot. You don’t have to look too closely to see three of the fruits!

As a followup to my earlier post on plants growing in pots, I have to say that I’m really pleased with how the purple brinjal plant is doing in the big pot. It has been branching out quite a bit, and is a nice, low bush. As a matter of fact, it’s more of a mini tree to me, because the main stem has thickened and developed a nice, woody exterior.

The base of the plant stem is nice and sturdy. Just look at the woodiness of it!

And the plant looks set for a nice round of fruiting, because it has several fruits in different stages of development right now. I don’t know if it will be like the loofah plant and will fruit in waves, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
