'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.

I agree with Craig LeHoullier in that this tomato approaches the taste of Brandywine Pink. I planted 12 varieties from the dwarf tomato project and this was my 2nd favorite. Will plant again.
★★★★★ This can approach Brandywine in flavor

I am a big fan of pink tomatoes, and we've created lots of great ones in our dwarf project. Coorong Pink is one of my favorites, with great depth and complexity, yet to me still sitting on the sweet side of the spectrum. Health, vigor, and productivity are just fine.
