Notes
'Chocolate Pear Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Chocolate Pear Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows about 48 inches tall and attracts butterflies, bees, and birds.
Pairs well with Basil, Nasturtium, Calendula, and Borage.
