Red Pear Tomato

Red Pear is a classic heirloom tomato recognized for its distinctive pear-shaped fruits and reliable garden performance. This vigorous, vining variety produces steady clusters of bright red tomatoes throughout the season when harvested regularly.

Fruits are smooth with a mild, slightly sweet flavour and tender texture, making them both versatile in the kitchen and attractive on the vine.
