Mystery Yellow Cherry Type?

User 636 · June 28, 2015

This is my first year of trying a true garden. Mostly it has been rolling around pretty well with some ups and downs. I write a little personal blog about what my plants are doing and what I am learning. While taking pictures of my as yet unripe yellow pear (I learned about the controversy after I started them so I'm very curious about them now) I realized that one of my yellow pear plants was not a pear shape at all.

Since the fruits all start off oblong I hadn't paid much attention to it. I have several cheery plants at war for a small amount of space and I didn't really prune them so its a jungle. But, I was looking at trusses because cherry trusses fascinate me and I realized that what was planted as yellow pear and came from a mountain valley seeds yellow pear container was not a yellow pear.

I pulled the two ripe ones or ripe seeming ones. They were a very tomato flavor with a bland after taste and very mealy.

I container garden and grew these from seed. I checked Mountain Valley's website and they have a yellow plum tomato that they sell as well but I don't think these are the right shape since they are so round.

In the background my first ripe Heatmaster and my first Ripening Mutant Black Krim and a Lemon Boy are saying hi.
