The Yellow Pear cherry tomato is an old variety with irresistible charm. Pear-shaped tomatoes have been cultivated in Europe since the 16th century, and the Yellow Pear itself is mentioned in English records as early as 1752.

With indeterminate growth, it thrives in a living vegetable garden, forming long clusters of bright yellow, small pear-shaped fruit.

Its dense foliage protects its fruit from the scorching sun, while its cold tolerance allows it to extend the harvest until the first frosts. With good support or a sturdy cage, this vigorous plant becomes a faithful companion in the kitchen garden, where it generously accompanies the cycle of the seasons.

  • Growing climate: Warm season
  • Sowing difficulty level: Medium
  • Care required: Regular
  • Growth: Summer growth

Note: Requires warmth, staking and regular watering; does not tolerate frost.

Sweet and decorative, small Yellow Pear tomatoes are delicious both raw and cooked. Their slightly mealy texture makes them ideal for gentle cooking: in soups, stews, kebabs, or sautéed with a drizzle of olive oil.

Once used to enhance English soups, today they reinvent summer dishes with their old-fashioned sweetness and playful shape. Their attractive clustered form allows for easy and abundant harvesting, extending throughout the warmer months.
