Overview
Ropreco is an Italian plum tomato bred for paste, with small, meaty, bright red fruit of 1 to 2 ounces on compact determinate plants. It starts ripening early for a paste type, around 70 days from transplant, and the bushes fit in a cage or a large container. The small fruit size makes it quick to halve for roasting or drying, and the crop comes in a concentrated flush for sauce making.
