San Marzano Thunder tomato is a modern selection of the famous Campanian ecotype: elongated, firm fruit with good crack resistance and high yield.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A vigorous indeterminate plant, with good resistance to the main crop disorders.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant into the field from April-May, with vertical staking.
Needs balanced fertilising and regular watering; periodically removing side shoots favours larger, more uniform fruit.
The elongated fruit, about 80-100 g, keeps the typical San Marzano cylindrical shape, with firm skin resistant to handling.
This selection shows fair tolerance to fusarium and verticillium wilt; still monitor for downy mildew in high-humidity conditions.
Ideal for sauces and preserves thanks to its compact flesh and low water content, in perfect keeping with the San Marzano tradition.
Rich in lycopene and vitamin C, San Marzano Thunder tomato has antioxidant properties and a sweet, mildly tangy taste.
