San Marzano Mediterranean tomato is a modern selection designed for Mediterranean climates, combining the classic elongated shape with good tolerance to summer heat and drought.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A vigorous indeterminate plant, with good fruit set even under moderate water stress.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant into the field from April-May, with vertical staking.
Suited to hot, dry climate regions, it needs regular watering but tolerates short dry spells well.
The elongated fruit, about 80-100 g, keeps the typical San Marzano cylindrical shape with firm skin.
This selection shows good rusticity against heat stress; still monitor for downy mildew in particularly humid seasons.
Ideal for sauces and preserves thanks to its compact flesh, particularly suited to growing in southern Italy.
Rich in lycopene and vitamin C, San Marzano Mediterranean tomato has antioxidant properties and a sweet, mildly tangy taste.
