Overview
Lao Purple Stripe, also sold as Purple Tiger, is the purple counterpart of Lao Green Stripe. Upright plants 2 to 3 feet tall bear round purple fruit about 2 inches across, and the fruit is best picked small before the seeds firm up. It is a midseason type at around 90 days. The upright habit keeps the plant tidy in a bed, and the small round fruit suits Lao and Thai curries and dips. Pick often to keep new fruit coming and to avoid seedy, tough ones.
