Sorry I took so long to respond! It's the really tall one on the left. As you can see it fruited a lot. The flowers were somewhere between eggplant and tomato size, with white petals. It grew too tall to support itself like an eggplant, about equally tall as a litchi tomato (the tall one on the right) but a little less stem strength. I still haven't cooked with any red eggplant fruit. I tried them ripe and unripe both--although maybe I didn't get the green ones early enough--but both times they tasted like poison.
