**Plant Characteristics:**
San Marzano tomatoes are determinate plants, meaning they grow to a compact bush size and produce most of their fruit within a concentrated period, making them excellent for container gardening and small spaces. The fruits typically weigh 3-5 ounces each and develop a deep red color when fully ripe. These tomatoes are particularly valued for their high solids content, making them ideal for processing into rich, thick sauces with minimal cooking time required.

**Care Tips:**
Provide sturdy support for the heavy fruit clusters. Regular feeding with balanced fertilizer will promote healthy growth and abundant yields. Harvest when fruits are fully colored and firm to the touch. For best flavor, allow tomatoes to fully ripen on the vine before picking.
