High Yielding, Low Acid & Perfect for Italian Cooking

Seedling Height
Approximate seedling height including the root system.
Planting Roma Tomatoes
Plant seedlings a little deeper than normal to provide extra stability and help anchor the developing plants.
Stake plants to support growth and choose a full sun position with well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
Roma tomatoes are a bush variety and generally do not require pruning. Plants can carry a substantial crop, so supporting them as they develop will help keep fruit and branches off the ground.
