Product details
Yellow Pear Tomato is a very old heirloom tomato variety that’s been documented for more than 200 years.
Plants produce bright yellow, pear-shaped cherry tomatoes with a sweet, mild flavor. Gardeners like this variety because it’s unusual and even cute.
Traditionally, it was eaten fresh and to make fresh tomato preserves until recently, when chefs and restauranteurs have made it a favorite in salads, pasta, and salsa. Yellow Pear Tomatoes have become increasingly popular at farmers’ markets.
The plants are large, sprawling, and hardy. They require staking or cages, especially if you don’t prune suckers. Yellows produce prolific amounts of fruit until frost, even in cooler zones. As with most cherry varieties, blossom end rot is not a problem.
What’s the history of the Yellow Pear Tomato?
 |
The Yellow Pear is known to have been cultivated in Europe as far back as the 17th century. Renowned biologist and taxonomist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon first recorded it in his Synopsis plantarum in 1805.
The variety spread to North American fairly quickly.
