Quick Summary of San Mazzo
- 🌍 Origin: A unique micro-paste/cherry variety with a highly distinctive elongated shape.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate and highly vigorous. Growers recommend planting it in a well-ventilated area (like near a greenhouse door) with plenty of vertical and horizontal support. For maximum yield, prune the suckers only up to the first flower truss, then let the plant grow freely (multi-stemmed).
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Tiny, bright red, bottle-shaped (elongated teardrop) cherry tomatoes. They are very small, weighing just 8–10g (about 0.3 oz). A fun quirk of this variety is that it contains very few, tiny seeds—often, the inside is just sweet seed gel.
- 📈 Yield & Trusses: Extremely productive. It produces both simple and complex (multi-branching) trusses and continues to set fruit relentlessly right up until the end of the season.
- 👅 Flavor: Sweet, rich, and delicious. Growers compare it to the famous German Flaschentomaten (Bottle Tomato) in both appearance and taste, just in a much smaller, bite-sized form.
San Mazzo. A wonderful cherry variety—beautiful, productive, and tasty! I gave it the western corner of the greenhouse right by the door, where cherry tomatoes usually perform best. There is better ventilation there, and there is plenty of space to tie the vines to the arches under the ceiling.
It is indeterminate. I pruned the suckers up to the first truss, and after that, it grew however it wanted and kept setting fruit right until the end of the season. The trusses were both simple and complex (multi-branching). The fruits are red, bottle-shaped, sweet, weighing just 8-10 grams (0.3 oz). The seeds are tiny and there are very few of them; often, there is only gel inside the fruits. The variety is very similar to Flaschentomaten in both appearance and taste, only the fruits are much smaller.
