San Marzano Tomato Garden Start

Our Experience with San Marzano Tomato:

The first year we grew this we were happy we did. Firm plum tomatoes. Very meaty and not a lot of water. Tomato sandwiches. Sauteed with Meat. It was all good. Along with all our tomatoes, we grow these under the open sky... not under plastic. And with San Marzano it takes a little longer to start seeing the fruit of your labor. Mid August for us during the first year.

This tomato plant comes in a four inch pot hardened off to outside conditions and ready to be planted into a larger pot or in the ground.

Overview of San Marzano Tomato from the Internet:

San Marzano tomatoes are a variety of plum tomato originating from the town of San Marzano sul Sarno in Italy. Grown in the rich volcanic soil near Mount Vesuvius, they possess a distinctively sweet flavor with low acidity. These tomatoes are typically longer and thinner than other plum varieties, with a thicker flesh and fewer seeds, which contributes to a less watery consistency. Their firm pulp makes them a preferred choice for creating rich, flavorful sauces, particularly for pasta and pizza. Often sold canned, either whole or crushed, San Marzano tomatoes are valued for their balanced taste and ability to break down well when cooked.
