Beam’s Yellow Pear is a charming heirloom cherry tomato that produces an abundance of bright golden-yellow, pear-shaped fruits all season long. With an indeterminate, vigorous vine habit, this variety keeps delivering into autumn. Its flavour is mild, sweet, and fresh — perfect for salads, snacking, roasting, or even light preserves. The fruit is crack-resistant, ripens steadily, and holds well on the vine — ideal for gardeners who want beauty and reliability. Because of its sunny color and prolific yield, it’s a standout in mixed tomato plantings, adding visual contrast and diversity.
