Description
Tomato (San Marzano) is a highly prized Italian heirloom-style tomato variety known for its deep flavour, low acidity, and thick flesh. It produces elongated fruits that are especially valued for making rich sauces, tomato paste, and cooking due to their dense texture and low seed content.
The plant is productive and performs well in warm climates, including Nigerian conditions, when grown with proper care.
