100 days, dwarf - The rugose, regular leaf plants of 'Gondwana Thunder' are compact and reach about three feet in height. Its fruit weigh one to five ounces, are globe to flattened-globe in shape. Their color begins as a bright green turning a deep purple-black color, and ripening to pink (clear skin with red flesh). Juicy, and pleasantly sweet, with a mildly tart finish. It should be noted that the days to maturity may vary greatly by location, or even year-to-year.

'Gondwana Thunder' was bred and named by Patrina Nuske-Small of NSW, Australia. Patrina made the initial crosses during the Australian Spring of 2012 between 'Adelaide Festival' and 'Indigo Rose', which provides the unusual dark purple coloring due to the anthocyanins developed as the fruit are exposed to sunshine.

Patrina supplied a sample to Mike Dunton for grow out for Victory Seeds® release. It was introduced by the Victory Seed Company to the North American gardening public for the 2025 season.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.
