San Marzano Corno Gagliardo tomato is a strong, productive horn-shaped variety combining the rusticity of heirloom types with modern disease resistance.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A strong, rustic, indeterminate plant that needs staking for proper growth.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May once frost risk has passed.
It adapts well to both open-field and greenhouse cultivation; it needs sturdy staking and regular watering during fruit swelling.
The elongated, horn-shaped fruits, little prone to blossom-end rot, are harvested once they reach a full, even red colour.
Thanks to its modern resistance traits it shows good tolerance to common root diseases; good canopy ventilation is still helpful.
The firm, juicy flesh suits both fresh use and rich, flavourful sauces and preserves.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, San Marzano Corno Gagliardo tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
