Small grape shaped cherry open pollinated tomato on compact indeterminate plants.
Description
Thai Pink Egg is a small pink/red grape tomato originally from Thailand where it is very popular. There is some confusion as to whether this is a determinate or indeterminate plant. Our own experience is that it is a very short, dense, indeterminate plant which is best treated as though it were a determinate plant (i.e. do not take out the sideshoots and grow them in pots). When fully ripe, the 25gram fruits have a mild, sweet flavour which bursts in the mouth. However, it is important to let them fully ripen as when underripe their taste can be somewhat bitter. A beautiful tomato, the shape of a small egg.
