The San Marzano Scatalone is an ancient Italian variety whose elongated fruits develop a particularly strong tomato flavor with pleasantly low acidity. This bottle tomato with its delicious flesh is excellent for freshly prepared pasta sauces or in fine cubes for bruschetta. The Scatalone is a variation of the San Marzano, which is highly appreciated by many connoisseurs, but it grows considerably larger and is somewhat more productive. It enjoys plenty of sun and should be located in a warm and somewhat sheltered from the wind.

Growing and care

Tomato seeds like it a little warmer for germination. The temperature should be between 20 and 25 °C for this variety. A heated propagator is particularly suitable for propagation. The seeds can be pre-soaked for 12 hours between layers of cellulose (e.g. kitchen roll) and then placed directly in soil. Germination usually takes place after one to two weeks. As soon as the plants are more robust and no more frost is expected outdoors, you can plant them out.

Soil and location

To ensure that your tomato plants develop vigorously and bear plenty of fruit, it is best to give them a good quality substrate. The soil should be rich in nutrients and airy and should always be kept slightly moist. However, waterlogging should be avoided at all costs, so make sure that the water can drip out of the pots. As tomatoes are very light-hungry, they need a place where they get at least 6-8 hours of sun a day and are protected. The more sun your tomato plants get, the richer their harvest will be!

Tip:

Depending on the variety, it makes sense to prune the plants. This is especially the case with stake tomatoes, so you can save yourself the trouble with bush tomatoes. By pruning, you prevent too many small tomatoes from forming. If you trim your plants skilfully, you will get a few fruits less, but they are usually larger and have a better aroma.
