The Oroma tomato is a paste variety developed in the United States by Oregon State University and released in 1993. Bred specifically for processing, it is an open-pollinated, determinate tomato that produces elongated, Roma-style red fruits with a firm, meaty texture and very few seeds. These qualities make Oroma especially well suited for sauces, paste, and canning, as the fruits are easy to peel, hold their shape well, and have good keeping qualities. While primarily valued for processing, Oroma can also be used for fresh eating, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where it performs reliably.

Tomatoes are a relatively easy fruit to grow, and are a delicious summertime treat best enjoyed straight from the garden. Plant them in a sunny location once all danger of frost has passed. Remember to set up your Staking System right away, to avoid a headache later on, since proper support helps keep the plants healthy and producing. Tomatoes come in two types: determinate and indeterminate. Determinate are better known as “bush” or “patio” varieties, and have a set-size that they will grow to, making them ideal for shorter growing seasons or small spaces. Fruit on a determinate tomato plant sets and ripens all at once. Indeterminate varieties, such as cherry or grape tomatoes, will continue to grow and produce throughout the season; until the plant is eventually killed by frost or runs out of nutrients. Be sure to always supply tomatoes with added calcium to prevent Blossom End Rot. Consistently check water levels throughout the day, since tomato plants are very heavy drinkers and require a lot of water. The most common pest is the Tomato Hornworm, which can destroy your crops with its voracious appetite. Check plants regularly and pick any off by hand. Hornworms that have rice-looking eggs on them may be left alone; as this indicates the hornworm has become a host for parasitic wasp eggs, and it will eventually die.
