Notes
'Black Pear' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Black Pear') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun. The pear shaped fruits are rich red on the bottom with mahogany-black shoulders, and they are grown for salads, slicing, and sauces. The vines are indeterminate, so give them sturdy support.
Pairs well with Jalapeno hot pepper, Sweet Thai basil, and Walla Walla Sweet onion.
