Rio Grande, Heidi, and San Marzano Nano are all compact, open pollinated, what I consider semi-determinate pastes that typically produce a ton of tomatoes for their small size. Heidi and Rio Grande are very dense and meaty and will give your fruit strainer a work out. San Marzano Nano produces smaller versions of a typical San Marzano type and are ideal for drying given that they start off dry with little to no seeds/gel.
I've grown all three in five gallon grow bags or buckets in the past and they could easily produce 100+ tomatoes each.
