Description
Leon Edmond 4-21-21:
There was a variety that was shared by Adriano years ago that went by the name of Melanzana Merdascola. It ended up being Longue d'Aout. I wrote to Adriano years ago and he supposedly changed the named to LdA based on my findings.
My impression is that the variety called Melanzana Calabrese is a different variant.
Pino 4-24-21:
Melanzana long/MM (merdascola) don't know who came up with that name. Similar to LdA but I find it can get very dark and drips honey if let to hang.
Figaholics:
Melanzana Meradoscola is a variant obtained from a friend back east and we picked our first fruit in 2019. Fruits were medium in size and the pulp was dark red and was quite sweet with the flavor seemingly a blend of berry and maple syrup.
