San Marzano Tomato is an heirloom variety renowned for its rich, sweet flavor and dense, meaty texture. The oblong fruit grows to about 3-4 inches long and is prized for its low seed count and thick flesh, making it perfect for sauces, canning, and slow-cooked dishes. Originating from Italy, this tomato is a favorite among chefs and gardeners for its authentic flavor and culinary versatility. Thriving in full sun and nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, San Marzano plants are indeterminate, producing fruit continuously throughout the growing season. Maturing in about 80-85 days, the plants are vigorous and require staking or caging for support. Known for their disease resistance and productivity, San Marzano Tomatoes perform well in both traditional gardens and raised beds. Whether you’re preserving a bountiful harvest for winter or creating fresh marinara sauce, this variety delivers unmatched quality and taste. Its heritage, ease of growth, and superior flavor make it a must-have for any tomato lover’s garden.
