Tomato ‘Romus’
Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum
Type: Determinate (Bush)

Tomato ‘Romus’ is a compact, early-ripening bush variety that produces clusters of bright red, oval-shaped fruits with smooth skin and a balanced, slightly tangy flavour. Ideal for sauces, cooking, and fresh eating, these plum-style tomatoes are fleshy, low in seeds, and mature reliably even in cooler or shorter summers. The determinate growth habit keeps plants tidy and manageable — perfect for containers, raised beds, and small spaces.
