plum tomato or Solanum lycopersicum 'Roma'
- Position: full sun
- Soil: light, fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast

With delicious, deep red plum fruit, 'Roma VF' is a heavy cropping variety and almost seedless, perfect for Mediterranean-inspired dishes…pasta sauces and gazpacho! Grow this variety inside a greenhouse or in the garden. Keep water levels in the soil consistent to prevent blossom end rot and split fruit.
Once main shoots start to grow, tie in to supports and pinch out the side shoots. Keep well watered and feed weekly with seaweed extract once flowers form.
