This determinate tomato is producing very well. Next time I will grow it in containers. It is really bushy not growing tall at all. The yellow pear did not turn out to be yellow pear. This is the second year in a row I have bought the yellow pear and it turned out to be something different.

Rick, is this a hybrid yellow tomato or an heirloom? I grew pear tomatoes once and I wouldn't grow them again. I didn't find mine to have any flavor. But you are not the first person to say the seeds were not what they were labeled. It happens. I ordered seeds for hanging baskets this year (in lots of 500). One variety, they WERE NOT what they were labeled. They are nice, but not what I ordered. So I have a lot of PINK petunia baskets in the greenhouse.
Really? I got mine from two different sources. Last year it was a red 8oz tomato and this year slightly oblong yellow cherry's. I'll try for them again next year.
I grew yellow pear tomatoes 2 years ago. I haven't grown them since ... they had no flavor and a grainy texture.
Netty, That was why I wouldn't grow them again, too. But I had a customer who wanted them and liked them...each to his own.
We have both the red and the yellow pear tomatoes, and they taste great--not too sweet, real tomatoey flavor, and other than a tendency to split in hot weather, they do great for us. They produce when our other tomatoes have shut down. I think texture and taste depends greatly on soil type, and perhaps climate.
