Tomato 'Martino's Roma'

MeghanB- When I grew this I was told it was a determinate by the person who gave it to me. But after the first ripe/almost ripe fruits we...Read Morere eaten by a groundhog I saw more flowers and fruit. I believe it is a semi-determinate that will go through flushes until the cold kills it. But it doesn't get very large like true indeterminate. I am thinking of growing this one again.

Question for those that have grown this plant before. I ordered my seeds from Seed Saver Exchange and their information says "indetermina...Read Morete," but my husband tells me it's growing funny and it must be some kind of determinate. All other literature I can find on the topic says determinate/semi-determinate and others say indeterminate. Does anyone have any information from growing this plant on what to expect?

I planted 10 Heirloom tomatoes from Carolyn J. Male's book. And I would give them all rave reviews except this one. It did bear alot of...Read More fruit, but most was on the ground, even the very green tomatoes, I will never plant this one again. For a great paste tomato and eating tomato I would HIGHLY recoment Opalka. These are the most extreme sized paste tomatoes, hardly any seed which is good for canning, not so great for saving seed.

This Italian heirloom has rugose foliage and has a tendency to fall off the vine when fully ripe.
