The Starke Ayres Roma VFN Tomato is a compact-growing, highly productive variety, appreciated for its firm, elongated fruits and reliable performance across seasons. It is best sown in seed trays or directly into well-drained soil, ensuring a spacing of 30 cm between plants and 150 cm between rows.
Seedlings require consistent moisture during germination, taking approximately 7–14 days to sprout. Pressing down the soil after sowing enhances root establishment, while regular watering supports vigorous plant growth.
Harvesting occurs approximately 80–90 days after planting, producing uniform Roma-style tomatoes ideal for sauces, canning, and fresh consumption.
