About the Plant

Roma Tomato is a classic, reliable variety prized for its firm flesh, low moisture content, and rich tomato flavor. Widely used for sauces, pastes, and canning, Roma tomatoes produce elongated, meaty fruits that hold up well in cooking. This productive and easy-to-grow plant is a staple in home gardens around the world.
