Tomato Cherry Yellow Pear
Heirloom Seed
75 days. A gourmet treat from the 1800s and still popular! Clusters of adorable, pear-shaped fruit you can eat like grapes. Sweet, mild flavor, low acid, almost lemony flavor — produces clusters of fruit all summer long. Great for hors d’oeuvres, salads, canning, relish. Provide support for vigorous vines that easily reach 6 feet.

When to sow outside: Recommended for mild winter climates only: 1 to 2 weeks before average last frost and when soil temperatures are at least 60° F.

When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before average last frost.

Harvesting: Harvest tomatoes when fully colored and firm. About 1 month before the average first fall frost, clip all blossoms and any undersized fruit off the plant. This will steer all the plant’s remaining energy into ripening what’s left. If you have a lot of green tomatoes near the end of the season, and a frost is approaching, pick them and store them indoors in a single layer away from direct sunlight to ripen.
