General Information: Easy-to-care-for, prolific plants provide loads of long, blocky tomatoes that mature with a small seed cavity that can be scooped out, leaving all meat. This means much less boiling is needed to get a first-class paste. The shape is also good for canning, and excellent for drying.

Grower Information:

Early, large, plum-shaped Roma tomato is a sweet, classic Italian paste variety. Very productive and high yielding.
