Growing Conditions

• Soil: Well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
• Watering: Tomatoes need consistent moisture, about 1 inch of water per week, watering at the base to avoid wet leaves.
• Fertilizer: Add a high-phosphorus fertilizer (5-10-10) at transplanting, and then every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to conserve moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

Harvesting and Storage

• Ripeness: Yellow Pear Tomatoes are ready when they are fully yellow and slightly soft when gently pressed.
• Harvest Method: For best flavor, pick tomatoes directly from the vine when ripe.
• Storage: Store ripe fruits at 45-60¡F for 4-7 days.

Tips for Success

• Support and Pruning: Use stakes or cages to support the plants as they grow tall (up to 6-12 feet). Regularly prune bottom leaves to improve airflow and reduce disease risks.
• Companion Planting: Plant near carrots, onions, or basil, but avoid planting near cabbage or potatoes to prevent disease spread.
