ALL of my San Marzano plants last summer (12-15 plants) had BER, live near Scio. Did not get to make ANY tomato sauce last summer. They were planted in raised beds. Same tomato variety the year before in raised beds produced huge bumper crops and only 2-3% BER. Did absolutely nothing different. Have you considered strange factors such as an increase in overhead chemtrails to be the cause?
Oh my, how incredibly frustrating! If I recall correctly, wasn't the weather extremely wet the year prior for the first few months of the season? As for strange factors - it seems that anything that disrupts the calcium from moving around the plant correctly will be a problem. And we can't control the weather. I hope we can find paste tomatoes that taste as good as San Marzano that are resistant to the problem!

I am going to try Martino’s Roma from Baker Creek seeds and see how that one does. I’ll also do some Amish Paste, Korean Longs and Hungarian Heart.
