History and Historical Uses

Historically prized for drying and preserving as well as fresh eating, they remain a beloved favourite among traditional gardeners.

Canadian Zone Information
Zones 8-9: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost; transplant outdoors once soil has warmed.
Zones 5-7: Start indoors and transplant after danger of frost has passed for best yields.
Zones 3-4: Start seeds indoors early and consider greenhouse or sheltered planting for success.

How to Grow and Harvest Yellow Pear Tomato
Planting: Sow seeds 6mm (1/4in) deep in trays; transplant outdoors after hardening off and once night temperatures are reliably warm.
Watering: Maintain even soil moisture; mulch to retain water and suppress weeds.
Harvesting: Pick fruit when fully bright yellow and slightly soft to the touch for peak flavour.
Maintenance: Provide strong staking or cages; prune lower branches for airflow.

Seed Saving Tips for Future Supply
Select Ripe Fruit: Choose fully mature fruits from healthy plants.
Extract Seeds: Scoop seeds into water and allow to ferment for 2-3 days to remove gel coating.
Dry Thoroughly: Rinse seeds and dry on paper towels for several days.
Store: Keep in a cool, dark, and dry place; viable for 4-5 years or more.
