Roma San Marzano II Tomato Seeds - Larger Tomato Clusters and More Disease Resistance

Introducing Authentic Italian Flavor with Roma San Marzano II Tomato Seeds

The Roma San Marzano II Tomato Seeds are now available. It is a classic Italian plum tomato beloved for sauces and canning. The San Marzano II is a specific, refined sub-strain of the traditional open-pollinated San Marzano heirloom. The key differences are

• Disease Resistance & Reliability: The classic San Marzano heirloom can be prone to blossom end rot and fungal issues. San Marzano II was bred for improved disease resistance (specifically to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt) and better overall field stability.

• Yield & Cluster Size: San Marzano II typically sets fruit in larger, consistent clusters (often 5–6 fruits per bunch) and offers higher overall productivity throughout the season compared to standard strains.

• Fruit Size: San Marzano II tends to produce slightly larger, more uniform tomatoes (4–6 oz) with thick walls, fewer seeds, and good sunscald protection from foliage.

Grow these iconic sweet, low-acid tomatoes, with the meaty flesh that makes them ideal for paste and marinara. San Marzano II gives home gardeners and growers a bit more reliability and disease resistance.

San Marzano II is considered an open-pollinated heirloom selection.

While the original San Marzano tomato originated in Italy in the 1700s, San Marzano II is a refined, open-pollinated sub-strain. It was selected and stabilized to give gardeners improved disease resistance (particularly against Verticillium and Fusarium wilts) and larger, more uniform fruit clusters without sacrificing the open-pollinated nature or signature flavor of the classic heirloom.
