This heirloom blend brings you both red and yellow, firm fruit that can be eaten like grapes all summer long. Sweet, mild flavor and low acidity make these tomatoes traditionally best for pickling and preserves, but they are great for salads and snacking, too. 'Red Pear' seeds are dyed red, while the 'Yellow Pear' seeds remain natural so you know which color tomato you are sowing. Vigorous vines easily reach 6'.

Beautiful Gems

Sep 24, 2020

Large, vigorous plants that produce sweet and bright fruits, perfect for adding freshness and color to any dish. The seeds of the yellow vs red varieties are very easy to tell apart so there's no surprise in which plant you're getting, but both are just wonderful. Plenty of these made their made way into all of my favorite recipes, but possibly even more were snacked on right in the garden. Very delicious and perfectly sweet. Highly recommended.

Mislabeled seeds?

Jul 9, 2021

The plants are growing wonderfully. The seeds were color-coded. However I may have bought mislabeled seeds as all the plants from this Red & Yellow Pear Blend have ripening fruit that looks like regular round cherry tomatoes. None of them look remotely like a pear, haha. Will try again with a new seed packet next year, hopefully next time it will produce pear tomatoes.

Prolific

Great germination and very prolific. The yellow pears will need lots of room: if you don't give it, they will take it. Both were very prone to splitting when it rains. I learned to pick before the rain came or else I would be picking split tomatoes. Flavor was okay, but not one of my personal favorites.
