History

Developed in the 2008-2016 by the members of the Dwarf Tomato Project from a cross between Wilpena and Cherokee Purple by Patrina Nuske Small in 2008 (Plentiful Family). Named by Patrina after The Coorong, a coastal lagoon with abundant bird-life in South Australia.
Main growers were Patrina Nuske Small and Craig LeHoullier of Raleigh, North Carolina (NC LE C), with help from Ginny Bishton and Joyce Beggs.
The seeds for release were produced by Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisconsin (WI MI B) and Tatiana Kouchnareva, Anmore, BC (B.C KO T) in 2016.
