Plants are semi-determinate, semi-sprawling type, medium growth strength, reaching a height of 70-90 cm. It is recommended to form the plant in three stems for optimal development and yield.

Vitalik eggplant fruits have a cylindrical, slightly curved shape with a rounded top. Their length is 25-30 cm, diameter in the middle part is about 7 cm, and mass varies from 150 to 250 g. A distinguishing feature is the fruit coloration: white with blurred longitudinal purple stripes, giving them an attractive appearance. The flesh is dense, white, with a very pleasant sweet taste, while bitterness is absent at the genetic level. Seeds are practically absent, which improves product quality.
