Red Pear Tomato
Growing Red Pear Tomato
‘Red Pear’ is an heirloom tomato prized for its charming pear-shaped fruits and candy-like sweetness. This bright red counterpart to ‘Yellow Pear’ matures earlier and contains relatively few seeds.
Start ‘Red Pear’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety thrives through summer conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 70 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and mature bright red color.
Sweet, colorful, and bite sized, ‘Red Pear’ is excellent for fresh eating and snacking.
