An outstanding producer of huge (as in 8-18 ounce) very tasty fruit. Great fresh eating. Early for such a large plant (70-75 days). This is not the small pear shaped tomato called red pear by U.S. seed companies. Pear shaped with vertical ribs - a must try. Really meaty containing few seeds. Indeterminate.

Closest to perfect I have grown.
It is early, prolific, produces all season here in Portland, Oregon. The starts were put out in mid May. My first ripe tomato appeared within 60 days of setting out. The bulk I have picked in the last week of August and first week of September. I got 30 lbs. from five plants in the past few days of early September. Meaty and sweet. No diseases. Good fresh and for canning sauce. Closest tomato to perfect I have grown.

Best tomato I’ve grown
I live in a tomato producing area, but am always disappointed with what’s on offer. Nothing lives up to my memories of tomatoes from childhood tomato raids on my families garden. Nothing till now. The red pear is it. All that warm sunshine perfect tomato taste of my memories. It took me straight back to my childhood. I’m only growing 3 plants in homemade cages from concrete reinforcement wire. 3 ft diameter and 5 ft tall. They are completely filled by June. I actually had to prune them a bit to control them. Between the 3 plants I estimate that I may have as many as 80 large fruits. I have only lost one fruit to blossom end rot, and two to caterpillars. No disease, no sunburning (I’m in Central Valley of California), and loads of amazing fruit. I will definitely save seed to keep this beauty in my garden forever. Thank you Seeds from Italy for sharing this variety with us. Superior tomato.

Tomato, Franchi select, red pear
An absolute garden champion. Nicely productive, hardy with a long season, the tomatoes were delicious in sandwiches, salads, on spaghetti, had wonderful flavor; so versatile, delicious raw or cooked.
