Notes

'La Roma' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'La Roma') is a vegetable for food gardens and containers. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. This hybrid bush grows fast, resists Fusarium wilt races 1 and 2, and is ready in about 80 days.

Pairs well with Dukat dill, Cilantro, and Sugar Cube melon.
