Pink Thai Egg is an indeterminate variety that produces charming clusters of small, pink, egg-shaped tomatoes. As a vining plant it grows tall and keeps fruiting until frost, rewarding you with wave after wave of uniform little fruit. The smooth pink skin and mild, gently sweet flavor make these tomatoes as pleasant to eat as they are pretty on the plant. They are a fun conversation-piece variety that is easy to grow and wonderful for fresh eating.

This is the quick guide to Pink Thai Egg tomatoes. For the full step-by-step on starting seeds, transplanting, feeding, and troubleshooting tomatoes, see our complete guide to growing tomatoes from seed.

Quick start

Start Pink Thai Egg seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost, keeping them warm at around 70 to 80F to germinate. Once frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 60F, transplant seedlings deep, burying roughly two-thirds of the stem to encourage vigorous roots. Space plants 24 to 36 inches apart and support this indeterminate vine, which can reach 6 to 8 feet, with a tall cage or trellis. Look for the first small, pink, egg-shaped fruit in about 70 to 75 days, borne in tidy clusters until frost.

Best tip

Harvest Pink Thai Egg tomatoes when they take on their full soft pink color and give slightly to the touch, picking often to encourage more clusters. In hot regions provide a little afternoon shade to protect the delicate pink skin, and in short-season climates start seeds indoors early and cage the plant to keep the long vine tidy and productive.
