Minimum: 25+ Seeds

Red Pear tomatoes are the sweet, juicy heirloom snack your garden’s been waiting for.

If you’ve never tasted a tomato right off the vine that made you pause mid-bite, you haven’t grown Red Pear. These bright red, bite-sized fruits are shaped like tiny pears, bursting with rich, old-fashioned tomato flavor and just the right touch of sweetness. Their charm goes far beyond their looks—they’re the kind of tomato that never makes it to the kitchen because you can’t stop eating them while harvesting.

Solanum lycopersicum, this variety traces its roots back to pre-1800s Europe and has been passed down for generations by gardeners who value flavor over uniformity and resilience over convenience. The plants are vigorous, indeterminate producers that thrive through long seasons and hot days. Expect heavy clusters of fruit that keep coming until frost, especially if you pick regularly and keep them well-fed.

Why Red Pear Belongs in Your Garden:

• Uniquely pear-shaped cherry tomatoes

• Deep red color with glossy skin and a sweet, balanced flavor

• High-yielding indeterminate plants that fruit all season

• Excellent for fresh eating, slow-roasted dishes, or simmered into rich sauces

• Performs well in garden beds, raised beds, or large containers

• Organic and heirloom—grown for flavor, not shelf life

Culinary Versatility with Heirloom Soul

Toss them whole into salads for a pop of color and taste, roast them with olive oil until they caramelize, or slow-cook them down into a jammy sauce that sticks to the spoon. These tomatoes hold their shape well when cooked but still melt in your mouth when eaten raw. Their natural sweetness also makes them perfect for homemade tomato preserves or sun-dried snacks.

Chefs love Red Pear for its visual appeal and concentrated flavor, while home gardeners praise it for producing more fruit than they can keep up with. And since this is an open-pollinated heirloom, you can save seeds from your best plants to grow again next season.

A Tomato with History

This variety has been around for centuries and for good reason. Red Pear tomatoes were once common in old European kitchen gardens and made their way to American soil with early settlers and seed savers. It’s a classic example of what we’ve nearly lost to commercial hybrids—and why growing heirlooms matters. Each fruit carries the flavor of generations past and the potential to keep that story alive.

How to Grow Red Pear Tomatoes from Seed:

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date. Keep soil warm between 70 and 85°F for fast, strong germination. Transplant into the garden once nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F and your seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves.

Plant in full sun with rich, well-drained soil amended with compost or aged manure. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart and give them strong support—these are indeterminate vines that will climb and sprawl all summer long. Water deeply a few times a week and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvest when fruit is fully red and comes off the vine with a gentle twist. Pick often to encourage new blossoms and extend your harvest window.

Quick Grower’s Guide:

• Days to maturity: 75 to 80 from transplant

• Indeterminate growth habit

• Best in zones 4 through 11 with warm, full sun

• Ideal for trellises, tomato cages, or fencing

• Open-pollinated organic seeds
