What is the Red Pear tomato?
Red Pear is a charming old heirloom that produces small, pear-shaped red fruit in abundant clusters. The tomatoes are sweet, low-acid, and a fun, decorative addition to the garden.
When and how do I start Red Pear seeds?
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost, about 1/4 inch deep. Transplant outdoors once frost danger has passed and nights stay above 50°F.
How long until Red Pear tomatoes are ready?
Red Pear ripens about 75 to 80 days from transplant and keeps producing until frost. Pick the little pear-shaped fruit when it is fully red.
How should I space and support Red Pear plants?
Space these indeterminate vines 24 to 36 inches apart in full sun. They can grow tall, so a cage or stake keeps the clusters of fruit off the ground.
What are Red Pear tomatoes best used for?
Their small size and sweet flavor make them perfect for snacking, salads, garnishes, and preserving. They are also popular for their whimsical shape on appetizer platters.
How many seeds are in a packet and are they heirloom?
Each packet holds about 100 heirloom, non-GMO seeds. Kept cool and dry, they remain viable for several growing seasons.
What shape are the tomatoes?
They are small and distinctly pear-shaped, ripening to a bright, glossy red.
Are the plants productive?
Yes. Red Pear produces abundant clusters throughout the season.
