The La Roma tomato is a hybrid determinate bush variety that's perfect for sauces, pastes, and canning. These bright red, pear-shaped tomatoes are meaty and full of flavor, with a low seed count that makes them ideal for cooking. La Roma tomatoes are known for their early yields and uniform fruit size, making them a popular choice for both home gardeners and commercial growers. Being a determinate plant, it grows to a compact height and produces all its fruit at once, making the plant easy to harvest and manage. To care for your new La Roma tomato plant, make sure it receives at least one inch of water per week and six hours or more of direct sun each day. Plant in the garden, a raised garden, or patio container. Be sure to offer a large enough pot and place it in a full-sun location. The plant benefits from staking or caging to support the vines. Loamy, well-draining soil is preferred. Feed regularly as directed. Mulch well. Seventy-five days to harvest.
