Mighty 'Mato® Black Pear Tomato plant details

Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Black Pear' is a distinctive Siberian heirloom tomato with pear shaped fruit that is rich red on the bottom with mahogany-black shoulders. The 4-8 ounce fruits have dark red interiors with excellent rich, complex, sweet flavours perfect for salads, slicing, or sauces. Excellent yields. Harvest in 80 days. Indeterminate. Mighty Mato grafted tomatoes are hand grafted onto super strong tomato rootstock which provides greater disease resistance, greater cold tolerance (so tomatoes start growing faster in the spring), and great yield. Mighty Mato grafted plants usually produce 2-3 times more fruit than ungrafted plants, a difference that is especially large for heirloom varieties which do not always offer high yields.
