Overview
Pompeii is an Italian-bred hybrid Roma with tall, productive vines that set heavy clusters of large, elongated plum tomatoes early in the season. Flesh is meaty and richly flavored. Hybrid vigor and disease resistance keep the plants cropping over a long season, so you can eat fresh, simmer thick sauces, and still have plenty to can or freeze. Stake or trellis the vines.
