Hmmmm.... I did a search but didn't find anything. I tried looking up "roma tomato" for a good photo, and all I got was the product, not the plant!
I've grown romas, better boys and cherry tomoatoes so long - I can tell by the smell of the leaf what they are. My new friend up here thought I was nuts in the head when I sniffed a couple of seedlings, handed her Romas and Better Boys and told her which was which. Now she knows... I was right! lol.
I kinda think the cherry leaves are a little longer, if I can recall (wish I had some growing, I'd just run outside with a camera!). You can also tell by growth habit - determinate, indeterminate, bushy or tall.
I did find this really cool nutritional chart on tomatoes tho:

Anybody have photos of their past tomato plants? Maybe we can put together a "tomato ID gallery."
