The yellow cocktail tomato ‘Yellow Pear’ (Solanum lycopersicum) delights with its vivid colour, distinctive shape and mild, sweet flavour. Its small, pear-shaped fruits resemble little drops of sunshine in the garden and are perfect for snacking straight from the vine. Their decorative appeal is especially striking in salads, mixed tomato platters or when pickled.

This heirloom variety originates from North America and has been cultivated since the 18th century – making it one of the oldest known cocktail tomato types. Today, it is enjoying a well-deserved revival among tomato enthusiasts and in nature-friendly gardens. The plants are robust, grow vigorously and produce an abundant harvest over many weeks.

‘Yellow Pear’ can be grown just as successfully in open ground as in a greenhouse or large container. The fruits ripen early and reliably, forming on loose, elongated trusses. Their charming appearance makes them a true highlight in both the garden and on the plate.
