Description
San Marzano are a long plum shaped, heirloom variety grown specifically for bottling, cooking or making tomato sauces and purees, because of their deliciously dry and meaty texture. They grow to around 7cm long and have deep red skins. They grown on indeterminate vines which will require staking, and are an open polinated variety which breeds true tomatoes. They originate from a small town called San Marzano in Italy, which is where the name comes from. These tomatoes have a medium late maturity.

Delivery information
All of our plug plants are grown by a 3rd party, they arrive to us ready for sale. The plants are grown in a biodegradable membrane and protect the roots of the plants in the early growth. Before packaging we water the plant and wrap the roots in a tissue to retain moisture, the plants are then pack in 6's in a blister pack container.
What to do next
When the plants arrive, check their condition, and remove from the packaging. Allow the plant time to recover by placing in a warm greenhouse or window in your home, if the plant requires moisture add water. After a couple of days the plant can be potted on to the next pot size allowing the plat to develop.
Remember, the plants have been grown in a warm greenhouse and will have not been exposed to temperatures below 6 degrees. Its important that the plant continues to grow in a similar environment, many plants will struggle if exposed to temperatures below Zero and will need protecting against this.
