Tomato (San Marzano)

📖 About This Plant

San Marzano is the gold standard for paste tomatoes. Elongated, bright red fruits have few seeds, dense flesh, and sweet low-acid flavor — ideal for sauces, canning, and sun-drying. The flesh cooks down to a rich, thick consistency. Indeterminate, 6–8 ft, matures in 80–85 days.

🌱 Care Tips

Plant deep — bury the lower 2/3 of the stem for stronger roots. Use heavy stakes; fruits are heavy. Avoid excessive nitrogen which promotes foliage over fruit. Consistent deep watering prevents blossom end rot.
