Dwarf Sunny's Pear Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Price: $2.95

SKU: 3404611

Mid-season, dwarf - The rugose, regular leaf plants of 'Dwarf Sunny's Pear' are very productive. Its paste-type fruit weigh one to two ounces each, are yellow-orange in color, and have a well balanced, pleasant flavor.

The "Fancy" family originated from a cross made by Sherry Long between a selection from the Dwarf Tomato Project "Sunny" family and 'Orange Pear'. 'Dwarf Sunny's Pear' was selected and named by Susan Oliverson. Craig LeHoullier also participated in the development of the variety with Bill Minkey growing out the final selection.
Tomato Uses: Paste
Fruit Color: Orange
Fruit Color: Yellow
Special Groups: Container Friendly
Special Groups: Dwarf Tomato Project
Harvest Timing: Main Crop / Mid-Season
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

★★★★★ Favorite dwarf tomato thus far
By SG (Buffalo, NY) on August 29, 2025

This was my first year growing veggies, and Dwarf Sunny's Pear was my favorite of the dwarf tomato project varieties I tried. Sturdy plants with upright growth that didn't require staking, productive, and great flavor. They are described as a paste-type tomato but they seemed more like a cherry tomato in texture & size and I enjoyed eating them raw. I didn't fertilize enough so I only got one main crop, but I will grow them again next year and improve my care. No disease, either, despite living in a very humid region and stuffing two plants in an 8 gal grow bag.

★★★★★ Sweet, pretty tomato
By Ellen (Hendersonville, NC) on July 29, 2025

Very pretty pear tomato, looks and tasty lovely in caprese salad or just to eat off the vine. I did plant one month apart and glad I did to enjoy for a longer period of time.

★★★★☆ here's a tasty little small Roma-shaped orange saladette
By Craig LeHoullier on February 10, 2022

Whether sliced into salads or skewered and grilled, this useful tomato variety is very attractive with its glowing bright orange color. The flavor is delightful and the yield very heavy. For a small fruited tomato, it takes awhile to get going, but is worth the wait.
