Tomato - Yellow Pear
Category: Home/Family> Garden> Seeds> Lycopersicon lycopersicum

The Tomato Pole Yellow Pear, 'Lycopersicon Lycopersicum', has a sweet, mild, almost lemony flavor. Kids and adults will love this late 1800's variety as a snack from the garden. This gourmet treat is from the 1800's and it is still popular. Yellow Pears produce clusters of very attractive fruit you can eat like grapes all summer long. They are great for your d'oeuvres, salads. canning, and relish. This plant produces 2 inch long and1 inch wide pear-shaped yellow tomatoes. Yellow Pear is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. They may also be seeded outside after the last average frost date. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem.
