Late to this discussion I realise, but we have Roma this year (first shot at growing a plum type). OH is the tomato-growing bod in our house and chose it. They are taking up more room than the Golden Nugget bushes do, but they're not too unruly. Fruit coming along slowly and I hope surely. ::)

I've done Pomodora Roma this year for the first time. They're bush and very big, tough plants. Nothing red yet but plenty of fruit on them. I just stuck them in a bed, together with a couple of rows of other bush varieties (Red Alert and Legend), put a cane at each corner of the bed with other horizontal canes tied on, so effectively making a cage round the bed. They've all mucked in together and been absolutely fine, supporting each other nicely.

Roma are doing good here, fairly compact bush, bit of a handful but uner control now.
taste is quite good, these are outside and started to ripen about 10 days ago.

Inca much the same but slightly larger fruit.
