Frequently Asked Questions

Yellow pear (Solanum lycopersicum) — what’s a common disease/pest problem and how do I treat it?

A very common issue for tomato types like yellow pear is early blight (brown, concentric spots on older leaves) and it spreads fast in humid weather. Remove and discard infected leaves immediately, avoid wetting foliage when watering, and apply a labeled fungicide for tomatoes if spots are spreading. Watch also for hornworms and hand-pick them early in the season, then check undersides of leaves regularly.

How often should I water yellow pear tomatoes during the main growing phase?

During flowering and fruiting (roughly weeks 4–8 for a ~60-day crop), keep the soil evenly moist with about 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week. Water deeply when the top 1 inch of soil dries out, because uneven moisture can trigger blossom-end rot and fruit cracking. Use consistent watering (not daily small splashes) to maintain steady moisture around developing trusses.
