2 GRAM PACKAGE ROMA VF TOMATO

Roma VF is one of the most popular paste (plum) tomato varieties, known for its meaty texture and excellent performance in the kitchen.

🌿 What It Looks Like

• Oval or egg-shaped tomatoes

• Bright red when ripe

• Medium size (about 2–3 inches long)

• Thick flesh with few seeds

🥗 Taste & Texture

• Less juicy, more dense than slicing tomatoes

🍽️ Best Uses

Roma VF tomatoes really shine in cooking:

• 🍅 Sauces & pasta sauce (top choice)

• 🍅 Canning & preserving

• 🍅 Tomato paste or puree

• 🍅 Roasting (rich flavor)

• 🍅 Salsas (less watery)

🌱 Growing Info

• Usually a determinate variety (grows to a set size, fruit ripens around the same time)

• Height: 3–4 feet

• Time to maturity: 75–80 days

• Needs:

  • Full sun ☀️

  • Support (light staking or cage helps)

🛡️ What “VF” Means

• V = Verticillium wilt resistant

• F = Fusarium wilt resistant

👉 This makes Roma VF hardier and more disease-resistant than many other tomatoes.

🌿 Care Tips

• Water consistently (avoid cracking and blossom-end rot)

• Mulch to keep soil moisture steady

• Add calcium (like crushed eggshells or lime) if needed

🍅 Harvest Tips

• Fruits ripen within a shorter window (good for bulk harvesting)

• Great for making large batches of sauce at once
