Tomato, Roma ‘Katya’ F1 (Solanum lycopersicum)
Katya has proved itself to be one of the best modern Roma varieties having a strong disease resistance package, a prodigious crop and very good flavour if picked ripe. And it has relatively few seeds so it is excellent for sauce and passata making. This determinate variety can be allowed to grow on the ground but is better when tied on to a metre high trellis. It does not want nor need any pruning.
