Taste Profile

These tomatoes possess a sweet taste with dense, grainy flesh making them a preferred choice for processing into sauces, stews, and other cooked dishes​

Yield

Roma tomatoes are highly productive, producing heavy crops. They can be sown indoors from February to early April, and once the seedlings have germinated, they should be moved to a well-lit, warm place

Growth Type

Roma tomatoes, particularly the 'Roma VF' variety, grow as compact bush tomatoes​

Cultivation Environment

They thrive in warm to moderate climatic zones, preferring a full sun exposure and slightly acidic, well-draining, fertile soil or growing medium. They can be grown in a greenhouse, polytunnel, or outdoors in warmer, sheltered areas

Cultivation Notes

Start by sowing seeds indoors, transplant seedlings to bright light conditions post germination, pot on into larger containers as they grow, and eventually transplant outdoors post last frost. They don't require the removal of side shoots and will need some support as they grow.
