Just happened to come across an article today on a site called Wintersong.com (or something like that), and did a search here to see if the topic was discussed. The author claims the eggplant themselves not the plant can be female or male. They showed a pic of what they say is a female and one of a male. The "bellybutton" of the female was shaped like a slit, and the male like a circle. The female they say has many more seeds and the male has fewer seeds and is denser. And the females according to them are sometimes rounder.
Not saying I believe all this because I have no idea, but thought it was worth posting for discussion sake.
Curious if anyone here has found it to be true either in their gardens or from store bought eggplant.
