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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <em>Flaschentomaten<\/em> in both appearance and taste, only the fruits are much smaller.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/1293167108_()4.jpg.09d2bff223640d95c076a6fbfb3a7dbe.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/263437434_()4.thumb.jpg.cb18e70b74cbda2b5c4595e20db6400c.jpg\" alt=\"Harvest of tiny red bottle shaped San Mazzo cherry tomatoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/1115037619_().jpg.614e1e499e193bfcd77f18759b8ec251.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/1184222435_().thumb.jpg.b101b214c769b50e78a491c51af12e7a.jpg\" alt=\"Heavy multi-branching truss of San Mazzo cherry tomatoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/891827141_()3.jpg.039302da3e371267e1301d8f6f58d5e1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/470713269_()3.thumb.jpg.11d07039688ed75170eadae01c29c49e.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of San Mazzo fruits on the vine\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/2113195563_()2.jpg.59e47c9b2cdd8a4f5a102a168fbcb0ce.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2021_09\/189328840_()2.thumb.jpg.59b830db9c7c3cc657fa742a18f0ff78.jpg\" alt=\"Small red San Mazzo tomatoes comparing size on hand\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Summary of San Mazzo \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A unique micro-paste\/cherry variety with a highly distinctive elongated shape. \ud83c\udf3f Plant Habit: Indeterminate and highly vigorous.
