Our bestselling tomato! 250+ seeds per 1g packet.
Franchi's Red Pear tomato is an old North Italian variety specially selected by Franchi Sementi. It is a red, pear-shaped beefsteak. 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.

Another great one from SOI
A really great, tasty productive tomato with bulk for our heirloom mix. would give it 5 stars but I save that for your San Marzano Redorta! Have had excellent luck with all the tomato varieties we have trailed from SOI (and I'm a commercial grower who uses many seed sources). Thanks for providing these great varieties.

The most awesome taste ever and huge size!
We tried growing these tomatoes for the first time this year. We planted seeds in the house on 4/24 and I was kind of late transplanting them to a newly built greenhouse (6/1). I also planted some outside. Living at 7000 feet elevation is a little more of a challenge for gardening. The plants outside didn't fare as well. But, if I plant them earlier next year, I have more hope for them. However, the ones in the greenhouse were fabulous! Beautiful big tasty tomatoes and they, mixed with some San Marzano I had planted made the best sauce we have ever had. I had a hard time knowing whether I liked one over the other, but the size and meatiness made the Red Pear the winner. I will definitely be planting both again next year. Thankfully, we had enough to do some canning to get us through the winter.

Great for home; not so great for market
As other reviews state, these tomatoes are large, tasty, low in seeds and productive. Downsides? Rather rough and irregular in shape and a bit hard to market (I am a market grower) probably due to unusual and often irregular shape. If growing for home use--go for it! If growing for market, may have a bit of a selling job ahead of you.
