Cherry Roma
Cherry Roma
Indeterminate
Packet Description:
“Introduced to SSE by Meilie Moy-Hodnett of Maryland in 1999. Incredibly heavy set of 1” long plum shaped fruits. Addictive sweet-spicy flavor, great fresh or dried. Fruits hold well for extended periods.”
Our take:
These gorgeous rich red 1” Romas have sweet-full bodied bold flavor. Not so much spicy. These plants can be very productive all summer long, and into the fall (zone 7a). Full sun, great in a consistently watered, south facing porch pot. Near the front door if possible. Barely anything beats grabbing a handful of these on the way out. Their warm sun-soaked flesh makes for a delicious and healthy snack.
Also great whole in salads, chopped in salsa, or pureed in pasta sauce.
They have been a staple in our home garden for 7+ years.
