Tomato Austin's Red Pear

Description

Heavy trusses of small, solid-bodied sweet fruits have a sweet, very tasty, soft and velvety textured flesh. Fruits are all evenly-matched in size and beautifully crafted, to perfectly resemble tiny pears, making them ideal for exotic salads.(Cordon)

Sowing Advice

Seeds are surface-sown or covered only slightly. Do not allow the soil to dry out. Containers are held in warm conditions until sprouts appear, which may take anywhere from 3-10 days. Move sprouting plantings immediately to bright light conditions, such as a south-facing window. Inadequate light is a frequent cause of failure of young seedlings. At about the time of last frost, set out seedlings into grow bags. Plants may need staking but there is no need to remove the side shoots. Seeds are surface-sown or covered only slightly.
