Red & Yellow Pear Blend Pole Cherry Tomato is an indeterminate vine that produces a mix of red and yellow pear-shaped fruits on a single plant, creating a striking visual display in the garden. This cultivar reaches maturity in just 75 days, making it surprisingly quick for a pole tomato, and its vining growth habit means it climbs and produces continuously throughout the season if supported properly. Plant it in full sun with 36 inches of spacing between plants, and you'll have a prolific harvest of sweet bite-sized tomatoes perfect for snacking straight off the vine.

The pear-shaped fruits come in both red and yellow on the same plant, offering a beautiful contrast that makes these tomatoes as ornamental as they are delicious. At 75 days to harvest, you'll be picking these jewel-like fruits sooner than you'd expect from a pole variety, and the indeterminate growth habit means the plant keeps producing right up until frost. The compact pear size and concentrated flavor make them ideal for fresh eating, and the sheer abundance of fruit justifies the vertical space they require.
These pear-shaped cherry tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh, plucked warm from the vine and eaten whole as a snack or scattered across a salad. Their small, neat size and sweet flavor also make them excellent candidates for roasting or halving for fresh pasta dishes where you want tomato flavor without overwhelming chunks.

Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your planned transplant date. Maintain soil temperature between 70°F and 90°F for reliable germination, planting seeds at 1/8 inch deep. Transplant seedlings outdoors when air temperature is consistently 45°F or warmer, which typically aligns with 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date.
Transplant hardened-off seedlings outdoors 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, once air temperatures are reliably 45°F or above. Space plants 36 inches apart in both directions to accommodate their vigorous indeterminate growth. Install your support structure at planting time to avoid root damage later.
For mild climates only, you may direct sow 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date once soil temperature reaches at least 60°F, though starting indoors is recommended for most regions.
Pick fruits when they reach full color, either when they're fully red or fully yellow. Pear-shaped cherry tomatoes are ripe when they yield slightly to gentle pressure but are still firm. Harvest regularly to encourage continued flowering and fruiting throughout the season. At 75 days from transplanting, you should see your first fruits ready to pick.
As an indeterminate pole tomato, this variety benefits from light pruning and suckering to direct energy toward fruit production. Remove suckers (shoots that grow in the crotch between the main stem and branches) to maintain a more organized, vertically trained plant. Pruning lower foliage once the plant is established can improve air circulation and reduce disease pressure.
