Details
The Green Pear Tomato is a unique and flavorful heirloom cherry tomato that stands out for its distinctive shape and vibrant color. Introduced in 2009 by Terroir Seeds, this indeterminate variety produces abundant clusters of pear-shaped fruits that ripen from green to a golden-amber hue, with the shoulders retaining a touch of green.
Weighing about one ounce each, these mid-season tomatoes are slightly larger than the common Yellow Pear variety. Their firm, juicy flesh is complemented by a sweet and tangy pulp, offering a delightful blend of sweetness and old-timey tomato flavor. The fruits are meaty and rich, with a complex taste that makes them a versatile addition to the kitchen.
The Green Pear Tomato is perfect for fresh eating, salads, or canning, and its excellent shelf life makes it a great choice for market growers. The vigorous plants have regular foliage and are resistant to common tomato challenges, thriving in a variety of conditions and producing prolifically throughout the season.
