I bet the tags were switched by the same kids who keep putting dishwashing soap

but on the other hand, that can be good too.. that's how I found
yellow pear tom's..... a tag mixup. now I plant them every year...

The tags I mean, not the dish-soap!

Didja ever see the TV ad for pasta showing happy farm folk harvesting
from their spaghetti bushes? :-)

I'm going back to the supplier of my "jellybean" plant (he lives a few
blocks away) and find out why it's an average 1" cherry type. I'm
pretty sure no one messed with *his* tags, but it sure must happen a
lot with trays of six-packs.

Yellow pears are a lot more fashionable now then when I had one
ultra-prolific plant (and plenty of volunteers the next year). I
wonder about its ancestry -- such a distinctive shape and color. I
don't know of any 'red pear' tomatoes. Perhaps a sport that bred true?
