The prolific and disease resistant 'Roma VF' produces high yields of oval to pear-shaped, meaty, flavorful red tomatoes. The fruit of this mid-season hybrid make delicious pasta sauce, paste, or even ketchup.
The tomato is a warm season vegetable grown for its delicious fruits. It is a short-lived tender perennial vine that is grown as an annual. Its compound leaves are medium green, hairy, have a strong fragrance and are not to be eaten. Edible fruits appear when days and nights are warm and 'Roma VF' can usually be harvested within 76 days after germination. This is a determinant, or bush, variety and does not need to be caged, though the plants may require staking.
'Roma VF' thrives in full sun and prefers fertile loam with good drainage. All tomatoes need consistent fertilization and watering. They are among the easiest to grow and most prolific of edible garden plants.
