Most commercial plum tomatoes sold in markets in the Western Hemisphere are Roma or related types. Smaller plum tomatoes about the size of cherry tomatoes are sometimes sold as Baby Roma. Commonly found in supermarkets in some countries, Roma tomatoes are also known as Italian plum tomatoes. While Roma is an open-pollinated variety rather than a hybrid, it has been steadily improved to the point where most Roma tomato vines are verticulum fusarium wilt resistant (thus the VF in the name). Ours is also resistant to nematodes (N). Roma is known to do well in containers.
