Blue Pear (Sinyaya Grusha) Anthocyanin Tomato Review

I liked the variety. It was quite productive. Fruit weight was up to 70-80g (2.5-2.8 oz). There was one large fruit about 200g (7 oz). Grown outdoors, bush height was 1.2-1.4m (4-4.5 ft). The taste is good.

I noticed one peculiarity of this variety: when ripening (when the bottom of the tomato turns red), the fruits started to lose their shape. Perhaps this is already overripening, and true ripeness comes when it hasn’t colored up quite that much yet. I think the variety will be absolutely perfect for sun-drying and canning, the fruits are quite dense.

Thanks to Elena N for the seeds! 🌺 The variety has become my favorite for its beauty, taste, and yield. I have one bush growing in the greenhouse. Indeterminate, tall, with sparse foliage. I am growing it in 4 stems. Fruits weigh 40-150g (1.4-5.3 oz), juicy, sweet. The yield is very good, it sets fruit even in the heat.

And thanks from me to LenaN for the seeds of this variety too 🌺
I liked it very much 👍 Super productive, beautiful, tasty, not prone to diseases 👍 The bush is about 1.7m (5.5 ft) tall, quite early. I pulled it from the greenhouse last in early October with a bunch of unripe fruits, which then successfully ripened indoors. We ate the last ones last week. 😋

Where is it better to grow it, in a greenhouse or outdoors (open ground)? I usually grow blue exotics outdoors.

I liked the variety very much! 👍 Indeterminate, grew in a greenhouse in 3 stems, very high yield, sets fruit well. Fruits are from 50 to 200g (1.7-7 oz), very tasty. When fully ripe, it has sweet jelly-like flesh 😋
I also noticed that as they ripen, the fruits go from pear-shaped to round 😛

Disease resistant, long fruiting period. The photo was taken today, October 3:

My fruits stayed curvy right to the end, completely ribbed all of them. I liked the variety a lot, the star of this season. It set 13 trusses, not all had time to ripen. Delicious)) Seeds from Alena (Kharkov).

Beautiful little pear-toys.

At first, Sinyaya Grusha didn’t impress me. It was growing as a modest little bush, for some reason it ended up in 1 stem. In the polycarbonate greenhouse right in the blazing sun. Very modest, small trusses of 6-7 pieces weighing over 100g (3.5 oz). I didn’t pay much attention to it. But when it ripened… The best taste of all the blue varieties I grew! 5+++! I immediately started digging out the seeds 😆

I’m looking at the photos and admiring them. Very beautiful fruits.

I liked the pear too. Thanks to Sofia for the seeds. 😘 I just didn’t have any over 100g, but there were SO many of them. 🙌 Very productive.
It stays in my collection.

😲 So beautiful 👍 Has anyone tried canning them? Please share your impressions 📝

I am rushing to show off this variety, even though there are no ripe tomatoes on it yet. I suspect that when they ripen, there will be nothing left to show. We love blue tomatoes, so we will pick them clean and the yield won’t be visible on camera.
And the yield of this variety is wonderful!
I planted three bushes. They are all growing in different spots in two greenhouses. They are huge in height, about 2.5 meters (8.2 ft). I am growing them in 3-4 stems.
Two bushes look like this:

(This is only the lower third of the bush. Higher up there are even more tomatoes, though they are still small and without anthocyanin yet).

And the third one I called “not quite Blue Pear”—it has anthocyanin, but it is modest, barely noticeable:

And yet it is still blue 🙂

Huge thanks for the seeds to Tomatanechka, who answered my wish list 🌺😘

I wasn’t planning on planting this yummy one this year, I had no space. But I needed to test the quality of my seeds. I sowed on April 21. Everything was fine with the seeds. My beauty grew and even ripened a bit on the vine. I clear all the tomatoes from the greenhouse on September 1st and sow cover crops. It was a pity to remove a healthy bush with an abundance of green fruits. But I learned something for myself – Sinyaya Grusha ripens very well indoors from green. It stays tasty, and with salt – very sweet! I still get many large ones and they are pear-shaped, not round. Love it! LOVE! 😘

The average weight in this photo is 140g (5 oz). There are smaller ones, of course, and larger ones, but less often.

I also grew Blue Pear one year. I got the smaller version of it (there are two versions circulating: one with larger fruits and one with smaller ones). It set fruit very well, even though it ended up in a very densely crowded planting. I pruned it to two stems. The plant was slender, with delicate foliage, but it set fruit until the cold weather hit. For me, it turned out mid-season. The fruits didn’t get particularly sweet for me due to my cold nights, but if you compare it with other blue/anthocyanin tomatoes, the taste is very competitive. For taste, out of all the blues that year, I gave the prize to Lucid Gem, but for fruit set, this one was among the first. Who knows, if I had gotten the version with larger fruits, I might have put it on my permanent grow list.

Inna, not quite blue and doesn’t really look like a pear, it’s more of a heart! Perhaps an off-type seed got mixed in, or it could be genetic segregation. I have 2 bushes growing, they all look like blue pears 😆

I tried to grow it from three sources. The seeds from the first didn’t sprout, from the second they sprouted with “helmet heads” (seed coats stuck on), and only the third one worked out. And all because I read a review saying it was SUPER YUMMY. I wanted it so badly. I had one bush. They started to ripen early, among the very first, even though they were sown later. The yield is very good. Over the season I took more than a bucket of very tasty tomatoes from one bush. At first, there were two stems, and then it just grew however it wanted. The tomatoes are not small, just right. And there were even quite large ones. Average weight 150 grams (5.3 oz). Very sweet with amazingly beautiful bright flesh. This is now my favorite variety. I just think that for one family, you don’t need more than one bush.

I couldn’t find a photo of the bush. I think I photographed such a beauty. I just took this photo on Sept 19. These are the last ones picked ripe.

Nina, I am very happy with this unexpected result. The bush turned out to be very, very productive! The tomatoes are heart-shaped, brick-colored with a light anthocyanin blush. I think it is segregation or cross-pollination. If only these tomatoes would keep their traits! I saved seeds from them, of course.

Here is a photo from today (many tomatoes have already been picked from the bush):

And the correct Blue Pear is equally striking in yield!
Also photos from today. The ripe ones have been picked, but there are still plenty of beautiful blue pear-toys on the bushes.
