Roma VF tomato is a classic plum tomato variety prized for its firm texture, rich flavor, and reliable garden performance. This determinate (bush-type) tomato produces high yields of bright red, egg-shaped fruits that average about 3 inches long and 2 ounces in weight—ideal for canning, saucing, and cooking. The 'VF' designation means it's resistant to Verticillium and Fusarium wilts, two common soil-borne diseases that can reduce yields. With a concentrated harvest window and low moisture content, Roma VF is a favorite for home gardeners and preservers who want flavorful tomatoes that are easy to grow and perfect for processing.
Roma VF tomatoes are incredibly versatile. Their dense, meaty flesh and low seed count make them ideal for sauces, pastes, soups, and salsas. They're also excellent roasted, sun-dried, or used fresh in bruschetta and savory dishes. Because of their consistent size and texture, they're easy to peel and process—perfect for bulk cooking and preserving.
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost date and transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Roma VF thrives in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart. As a determinate variety, it grows to about 36 to 48 inches tall and sets fruit over a short period, making it easier to harvest in bulk. With strong disease resistance and low maintenance needs, Tomato Roma VF is a time-tested choice for productive, flavorful, and hassle-free homegrown tomatoes.
