Variety characteristics:

• 996 Tropical Sweet Pear F7 Tomato is a midseason pear-type tomato selection with good stability at the F7 stage, though some segregation may still occur during ongoing breeding. Plants grow to about 5.6 ft and produce beautiful emerald-green pear-shaped fruits weighing about 3.5-7 oz. The flavor is exceptionally sweet with a clear honey-like note, making it one of the sweetest varieties in the breeder’s selection. In the current season, it stood out as the sweetest pear tomato among all varieties grown. A highly recommended specialty tomato for fresh slicing, salads, collectors, and growers who appreciate sweet green tomatoes.
