This variety is notably prone to blossom end rot, which is a calcium delivery problem driven by uneven watering, so mulch deeply, water on a steady schedule instead of in cycles of drought and flood, and make sure soil calcium and pH are adequate before planting. Prune suckers below the first fruit cluster to improve airflow against the fungal diseases that Alabama humidity guarantees. Shipped in a 4\" Pot, well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature size: 6-8 ft tall staked, 24-30 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best: Outdoors - Grown as an annual in all zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet safety: Foliage toxic to pets if ingested; fruit is safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun, 8+ hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep, steady and regular; avoid drought-then-flood cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, compost-rich soil at pH 6.2-6.8, limed if needed so calcium is available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced feed at planting, then a low-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer every two weeks once fruit sets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does it get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e6-8 ft tall staked, 24-30 in wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull sun, 8+ hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for pets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoliage toxic to pets if ingested; fruit is safe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it shipped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked to arrive healthy and shipped from our Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wade Greens™","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":49176859148505,"sku":"WG-SANMARZANOTOMATO-4IN","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Pack","offer_id":49176859181273,"sku":"WG-SANMARZANOTOMATO-6PK","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/wadegreens.com\/products\/tomato-san-marzano-starter-plant","provider":"Wade Greens™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
