Growing Information
The Red Pear Tomatoes are container-friendly, making them a perfect choice for both small patios and sprawling gardens. These plants love basking in the full sun, ensuring their fruits ripen to a vibrant, mouthwatering red. With a 65-75 day maturity period, even those in colder zones can enjoy these heirloom beauties. Remember, these are indeterminate plants, which means they'll continue to yield fruit until the frost sets in, making your summer harvests a recurring joy.
'Nir’s Take'
“These aren’t your traditional tomatoes. They are more of a pear-shaped oval-shaped, and they are much sweeter and acidic than the slicing tomatoes that you get. These are really good in salads or just eating them by their own. So if you’re a fan of tomatoes, this is definitely one of those to try.”
