Indeterminate. 80 days. Open-pollinated.
Yellow Pear Tomato originated in Europe around the 1800's. The plant grows large with heavy yields so it does best when staked or trellised. The pear-shaped yellow fruit have a delicious flavour that is great for fresh eating (one of my favourites) or for making sauces.
Yellow Pear Tomato Seeds
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. Use bottom heat to increase germination numbers and speed. When the seedlings germinate, remove the bottom heat and grow under lights. Once the night-time lows are 10C or warmer, the seedlings can be transplanted outdoors. Tomatoes like warm, well draining soil that is rich with nutrients and organic matter. They benefit from the addition of compost, an all purpose fertilizer at transplanting and consistent watering.
