Indigo Pear Drop

Dark Shoulders, Sweet Fruit

Indigo Pear Drop is a pear-shaped cherry tomato grown for both colour and flavour. The small fruits ripen to a warm golden-orange, developing deep indigo shoulders where they’re exposed to strong light.

The contrast builds gradually as the season progresses, giving the trusses a distinctive, jewel-like appearance on the vine.

This is an indeterminate cherry tomato that grows with vigour and crops over a long period under good conditions. The plants produce large numbers of evenly sized fruits, set along well-spaced trusses that make harvesting straightforward. Regular picking encourages continued production rather than a single flush.

The flavour is sweet and rich, with a classic tomato depth rather than sharp acidity. The flesh is juicy without being watery, making the fruits well suited to snacking, salads and light kitchen use where both taste and appearance matter.

Indigo Pear Drop performs best under glass, where warmth and consistent light allow both colour development and cropping potential to be fully realised. It can be grown outdoors in a warm, sheltered position, but like most indigo varieties it benefits from protection and a longer season.

This is a tomato chosen for growers who enjoy visual character without compromising on eating quality.
