Tomato - San Marzano

Product Info

This heirloom tomato is quite possibly the best sauce tomato available! A favorite among gourmet chefs, this paste tomato has firm meaty flesh and very few seeds. Sweeter and less acidic than Roma, the medium-sized 3" long pear-shaped fruits are 4-8 oz. each. In the garden, they are a heavy producer and resistant to cracking. Use for exceptional sauces, pastes, purees and soups. You'll want to can some to have over the winter months, too. The indeterminate plants will need staking for best production.

Water:	Water regularly for 1 week after setting plants in the garden. Tomatoes need at least 1" of water per week, maybe more depending on the weather. Water early in the day, deeply at the roots. Avoid splashing on leaves as moisture retained on foliage overnight could trigger disease on your tomatoes. Do not overwater.
