Variety characteristics:

• 597 Indigo Pear Drops Pink is a productive midseason cherry tomato grown for its unusually colorful, pear-shaped fruits. Vigorous indeterminate plants reach approximately 6 feet tall and bear heavy crops of 0.35 to 0.53 oz tomatoes. The fruits ripen to a warm pink or coral-pink base color, accented by dramatic blue-purple to nearly black anthocyanin shoulders. Fruit receiving strong direct sunlight may develop dark pigmentation over most of its surface, while shaded areas remain pink. The juicy, crisp flesh has a pleasantly sweet, fruity flavor and is especially enjoyable for fresh snacking, salads, garnishes, and colorful tomato platters. Adaptable and vigorous plants perform well in garden beds, greenhouses, and large patio containers when provided with sturdy support.
