Roma Tomato Lycopersicon lycopersicum seed

LATIN NAME: Solanum lycopersicum

COMMON NAME: Roma Tomato

The Roma tomato pears the firm, red fruits along the sturdy stems, the broad, lobed leaves around them, and the whole plant stands in the fine, productive look of the old kitchen garden. The fast-growing, annual herb carries the large, lobed, slightly hairy leaves along the sturdy, branching stems, and the small, yellow, star-shaped flowers in the small clusters, through the summer, one of the productive, quiet sights of the old kitchen garden, drawing the bees, to be followed by the medium, egg-shaped, pointed, firm, meaty, deep-red fruits with the few seeds and the thick flesh. The meaty fruits have a very long record as the fine, paste tomatoes of the old gardens, and the plant is a historic presence of the old kitchen garden. It is a plant of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The Roma tomato is a historic subject of the plant science, and the yellow flowers keep showing up in the work on the paste tomatoes. The way the small, yellow, star-shaped flowers form in the small clusters has been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the paste tomatoes, the lobed leaves and the members of the nightshade family. The meaty fruits and the sturdy habit have also made it a fine study herb, and the Roma tomato is a regular subject of the work on the yellow flowers of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The Roma tomato is a productive, useful plant of the old kitchen garden and the study collection. The large, lobed, slightly hairy leaves along the sturdy, branching stems carry the productive look of the old kitchen garden, one of the productive, quiet sights of the old kitchen garden, drawing the bees, and the meaty fruits have a very long record as the fine, paste tomatoes of the old gardens, the thick, firm flesh coming to the sauces, the pastes, the canning jars and the steady practice of the old kitchens, while the small, yellow, star-shaped flowers in the small clusters open through the summer, to be followed by the medium, egg-shaped, pointed, firm, meaty, deep-red fruits with the few seeds and the thick flesh. It is one of the fine choices for the old kitchen garden, the sauce row and the study collection, and it has been written up in the culinary and the horticultural papers for the meaty fruits and the very long history. It is a productive, useful plant of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained garden.

The Roma seeds germinate well in a fine, loamy compost kept warm and steadily moist. The young plants are sturdy and productive, and they take the deep, rich ground of the kitchen garden well.

To grow the Roma tomato from seed, sow the tiny, hairy seeds over the surface of the deep flat of fine, loamy compost, water gently, then keep the flat in a bright, warm spot. The seedlings come through within a couple of weeks, and they grow on fast. With the sun and the deep, rich, moist ground, the firm red pears will ripen over the warm months.

 

 

 

 

SYNONYMS: Solanum lycopersicum, Lycopersicon esculentum

LATIN NAME: Solanum lycopersicum

COMMON NAMES: Roma Tomato, Plum Tomato, Paste Tomato

Roma tomato is a high‑yield warm‑season annual vegetable valued heavily for sauce‑making and canning. Compact bushy plants carry medium‑green foliage and produce abundant oval‑shaped meaty fruits with low juice and seed content. Firm thick flesh delivers rich concentrated flavour well suited for culinary processing as well as fresh table use. This crop adapts nicely to garden rows, raised beds and large‑size container cultivation. Seed‑raised stock provides gardeners with vigorous, productive plants for seasonal edible garden arrangements.
Propagation from seed brings solid practical advantages for Roma tomato production. Seed‑grown specimens develop extensive fibrous root systems that draw nutrients efficiently from fertile garden loam. Early indoor sowing extends the growing cycle and brings earlier fruit set. Natural variation within seed lots creates minor pleasant differences in fruit shape and plant branching pattern across seedling groups.
Seed material comes from fully mature over‑ripe fruits. Squeeze pulp and seed mass from ripe tomatoes, separate small flat seeds from gel‑like fruit tissue and dry seeds completely. Clean dried seed stores reliably under cool dry conditions. Cold stratification is not required for this warm‑season solanaceous crop.
Sow cleaned seeds into nutrient‑rich, freely draining vegetable seed‑starting substrate. Cover seeds with a thin layer of fine growing soil. Bright filtered light supports healthy early‑stage seedling growth. Keep growing medium evenly moist, avoid stagnant water saturation. Under consistent warm temperatures, energetic seedlings emerge steadily.
Young seedlings expand typical tomato foliage and build sturdy upright growth. Careful thinning reduces competition and gives each seedling sufficient root room. After all frost risk passes, hardened‑off seedlings transplant easily into garden beds or deep containers. Full‑sun positions encourage heavy fruit production. These seed‑raised plants set numerous plum‑shaped Roma tomatoes throughout summer. Firm meaty fruits supply consistent harvests for cooking, preserving and fresh eating, bringing rewarding output to home vegetable garden spaces.

The Roma tomato is a paste tomato. A small and plum shaped, bright red fruit, that is thick walled with a meaty flesh with few seeds. It is excellent for paste, sauce, canning or freezing whole. Roma is very prolific tomato plant.

Tomatoes contain lycopene – a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene has been found to help protect the body from many types of cancer, such as breast, colon, prostate cancer, and much more.  Tomatoes are also an excellent source of vitamins C and vitamin A.

Growing directions:
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Prefers full sun, rich, moist, well-draining soil. Water well and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Transplant to garden after danger of frost has past. Sow 1 cm/1/2” deep. Space plants 45cm/18” apart.
75 days to maturity.
