\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Pera Naranja<\/strong> (frequently traded in Eastern Europe as Grushevyi Apelsin<\/em> or Pear Orange<\/em>) is a tall indeterminate<\/strong> cherry variety producing immense sprays of luminous, orange, teardrop-to-finger-shaped fruits weighing 0.35 to 0.7 oz (10-20 g)<\/strong>. Renowned for its explosive pure-honey sweetness<\/strong> that develops even in dismal, sunless summers, the vine carries a delicate, lace-like canopy with slender stems. Growers recommend running 4 to 6 stems bundled together like a sheaf of wheat, noting it demands heavy feeding<\/strong> but never goes unproductive or vegetative. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Slava shared these seeds with me under the code name “Pear Orange” (Grushevyi Apelsin).<\/p>\n

Superb variety! Early maturity, pale green foliage, with slender, graceful stems and delicate leaves. The fruits are more like finger-shaped or teardrop cherries, bright orange, firm, sweet, with thin but durable skin, weighing up to 0.7 oz (20 g). Trusses vary from simple long ropes to multi-branched mega-clusters depending on nutrition and cultural conditions.<\/p>\n

Despite its delicate appearance, this plant loves to feed on nitrogen. Yet in three years of growing it, I have never once seen it go purely vegetative; instead, the trusses just become a total sight to behold! Not overly dependent on heavy potassium either, keeping its rich flavor through summer right into late autumn, though it can drop flowers in extreme heatwaves. Zero issues with blossom end rot, cracking, or leaf mold. It is still growing in my greenhouse right now, lush green, blooming, setting, and ripening. \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Can’t find documentation on this variety anywhere, whether it officially exists in catalogs or not! But that is the name it came with.<\/p>\n

Grew it outdoors in the open dirt: indeterminate vine, regular foliage, bright orange pear-shaped fruits weighing around 0.35 oz (10 g). The flavor is straight-up pure liquid honey! \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n

Oksana, don’t give it too much space; it has a very light, airy, lace-like canopy. Not sure how scorching your summer sun gets, but you don’t want the fruits to get sunscalded without enough cover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I grew mine in the greenhouse at standard spacing. As it branched, I just wove the stems outward through neighboring tomato vines. It isn’t heavily foliaged and doesn’t bully its neighbors, so they got along fine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pera Naranja turned out not just to be the sweetest tomato of the past season, but honestly the sweetest tomato across all my years of gardening! And the 2016 summer in the Leningrad region was completely sunless, cold, and drowning in rain.<\/p>\n

Unbelievably sweet cherries weighing 0.4 to 0.45 oz (12-13 g) with a dense, springy sweet wall and seed cavities bursting with pure sugary juice. Pop one into your mouth, close your eyes, and gently bite down until it bursts with sweet juice, and you will understand why I fell head-over-heels for it.<\/p>\n

Ran just one vine, and it was completely smothered in intensely sweet tomatoes. Huge harvests, and they kept exceptionally well on the counter.<\/p>\n

Now firmly planted on my top favorites list for cherry tomatoes! Description matches Polina’s opening post down to the letter. Absolute perfection \ud83d\udc4d, delicious \ud83d\ude0b, with pleasantly firm flesh.<\/p>\n

Grew in the greenhouse corner. Started training it to 6 stems, then gave up on suckering altogether. Mid-September, and the entire vine was still smothered in flowers and ripe fruit.<\/p>\n

Green fruit picked in early October ripened indoors and, although slightly wrinkled now, we are still snacking on them through mid-winter!<\/p>\n

Nothing to add to Polina and Svetlana’s logs. Hands down the best cherry tomato in all my years of growing. Demands regular fertilizer. Best given at least some pruning. Sowed in late March, started setting in late July, and produced non-stop until October.<\/p>\n

Pera Naranja is the single best cherry tomato of my entire gardening life too! Unmatched yield, delicious, sugary, and gorgeous. The final harvest picked green finished ripening on the counter, and we still have a handful left.<\/p>\n

Ran 2 vines unpruned and fed them well. By August they were already over 8 ft (2.5 m) tall and formed a complete archway over the central bed!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Yes, as a seedling it is very slender and delicate! It keeps those thin, flexible stems even out in the garden beds. I never plant two to a hole, so I can’t advise on that. In my greenhouse, I barely pruned the vine; it grew quite bushy, though not overly tall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mine are already blooming indoors, though the flower truss is simple so far, only 7 buds. Hoping they throw complex multi-branching trusses once planted out into garden beds.<\/p>\n

Potted them up into deep 2-liter rose pots to bury the stems deeper and promote root growth. Already 2 ft (60 cm) tall and gained good strength. Looks like I will be hauling 3-foot monsters to the dacha again! \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n

Ran my favorite cherry again in the exact same southwest greenhouse corner where it shone last season. Did not prune it at all. The stems are slender and leaves are small, so I simply bundled the entire airy plant together like a sheaf of wheat, staked the base, and tied the canopy to the rafters.<\/p>\n

The yields you can pull off an unpruned plant are unbelievable! But you definitely have to feed it regularly. Attached is my third harvest bucket off this single vine. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here is how Pera Naranja turned out for me. Pruned it until mid-August, which is probably why the vine grew quite tall. Didn’t hit that astronomical yield, but solid production nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Cherries are wonderfully sweet with great density. Not tough or thick-skinned at all, contrary to a few reviews, just a very pleasant, crisp crunch when you bite into them.<\/p>\n

Svetlana (Svetikk), huge thanks for the seeds!<\/p>\n

I was honestly disappointed. Yes, pretty and productive, but such tiny fruits! Harvesting was tedious, the branches snapped easily, and the vine collapsed no matter how I tied it up. Decided to skip cherries altogether next year, too much fuss for too little substance. Just my personal take! \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Grew Pera Naranja in the greenhouse from Svetikk’s seeds. Firm, delicious, sweet, and loads of them! Started out slender and delicate indoors, then turned into an absolute monster once planted out.<\/p>\n

Pruned suckers early on, then let it go wild. Tied the stems up like a wheat sheaf and lowered the vine multiple times because it kept slamming into the greenhouse roof.<\/p>\n

Third straight year growing Orange Pear in its favorite corner bed. It handled every single weather disaster this season like a champ. I don’t prune it at all anymore, just tie the massive sheaf of stems together and stake it up.<\/p>\n

It sets every flower that blooms, and the number of flower trusses is endless! Hard to believe that a variety that starts out so fragile and thin indoors can erupt into such an unstoppable harvest machine.<\/p>\n

Super productive, delicious, and ideal for whole-jar canning. Picked the final clusters in November while the vine was still trying to bloom!<\/p>\n

This is my very first year growing tomatoes. Reading above that this variety needs regular feeding. What fertilizer should I use, and how often? After transplanting it showed nitrogen deficiency, so I fed it with a high-nitrogen starter. Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Super variety! One of the absolute finest cherry tomatoes. Delicious, crazy productive, and so slender and airy that it barely casts any shade at all, meaning you can easily plant it in the front row and space them very tight. Recommend it a million times over!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
