San Marzano Dwarf Tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum)

Dwarf San Marzano Tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum): later version of the classic San Marzano, the berry, although it retains the typical shape of the ecotype from which it takes its name, is smaller in size, the pulp is softer and the taste is lighter. It is not suitable for conserves, but it certainly makes an exceptional sauce straight picked right from your balcony (if you take the challenge, the plant loaded with miniature tomatoes is truly a beautiful sight). This ecotype gets to less than 1 mt, it has a bushy habit, does not require trimming (pruning of the axillary shoots) or supports, and does not suffer from apical rot. Perfect for pots, for small sowing beds and for those who are forced to grow in greenhouses, where it adapts well to shorter seasons and takes up very little space without taking away too much from production. The dwarf varieties on our collection come from selections of traditional varieties, they cannot be defined as ancient but they are clearly all reproducible, no F1 hybrids. Sowing from February to June, 80 days from transplanting. Caution: This variety is not only determinate but dwarf.
