San Marzano Problem..... or not...
« on: June 06, 2015, 12:07 »
Morning All,

This is the second year, that my San Mazano plant arent climbing up the canes, but rather growing really thick, and getting very large and bushy.

I thought they were indeterminate, yet they just seem to get really thick, and low to the ground?

Any one else had any luck with these climbing?

Regards Mark
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

Yes, they do grow as cordons, but you do have to make sure you pinch out any side shoots.

Mine are growing as cordons ok.  Could you have fed them too much so they have grown leaf rather than stalk?
