Coorong Pink Tomato

Coorong Pink

95 days, dwarf — ‘Coorong Pink’ is a rugose, regular leaf variety that produces large yields of small to medium (four to eight ounce), pink fruit. The fruit are smooth-skinned, flattened-globe in shape, juicy and meaty with a nice mild flavor. The plants average about four to six feet in height and benefit from support.

Developed by members of the “Dwarf Tomato Project” this variety originated from a cross between ‘Wilpena‘ and ‘Cherokee Purple.’ ‘Coorong Pink’ was first bred by Patrina Nuske Small in 2008 and named ‘Plentiful.’ The Coorong is a coastal lagoon with abundant bird-life in South Australia. Those also involved in this variety’s development were Craig LeHoullier, Ginny Bishton, Joyce Beggs, and Bill Minkey. Introduced in 2016. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
