Has anyone ever grown these - they look like purple toms apparently. I have some in my greenhouse and the plants are growing well but the fruit are not setting.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks

I'm growing them for the first time, so don't much know, but mine are outdoors. Might need pollinating?

I'm growing these for the second year now, last I had poor fruit set, just relying on passing insects etc. This year out came the trusty paintbrush and it does appear to help, so try cross pollinating by hand.
