Positive	Beta_Vulgaris	On Mar 7, 2009, Beta_Vulgaris from Eaton Rapids, MI wrote: San Marzano is the absolute best paste tomato I have ever grown. It had tremendose yeilds of large and very meaty fruit. Also this tomato is intermediate, a characteristic not found in many tomatoes. Probaly the only problem I had with this variety was that it is prone to getting blight. P.S. If anyone has a variety they think is better please let me know.
