Can be grown in or outdoors.

However, seeing as it sounds Italian I'd guess it prefer it warm?

I grow San Marzano outside in my garden - the plants are vigorous and the crop heavy (all being well) so you need to give them good space and decent growing media. The fruit are really worth it, though.

Only grow tomatoes in your greenhouse if you have good control over the temperature and can give them adequate food and water. There is a strong risk - epecially with the larger fruited types like this - of getting blossom end rot if you get the watering wrong. It's a lot easier if they are outside in the soil.

My greenhouse is very hot so tomatoes are a lot happier outside.

I grew one in the greenhouse a couple of years ago and the flavour is very good but I found it quite slow to get going.

San Marzano are a very vigourous plant and requires quite a bit of space. I always grow them outdoors. They crop heavily. The tomato is very fleshy rather than juicy. I usually make sauce from them rather than eat them raw. Hope this helps.
