An intriguing and fun heirloom that was introduced as an ornamental around 1879, Pumpkin on a Stick is actually an eggplant with clusters of fruit that look like miniature pumpkins. They are a great conversation piece--let visitors to your garden try to guess what type of plant can grow these cute little 'pumpkins' on vertical stalks. They are a wonderful addition to your fresh or dried cut flower displays in late summer and early autumn. Also called Red China or Scarlet Chinese eggplant, the bitter fruits are used in Asian cooking.
