i think roma is an outdoor plum tom - hang on i'll check.

[Dopey113]

ok thanks

[mattwragg94]

yep it can be grown outside, but its not blight resistant - so perhaps not the best variety to grow outside?

[Dopey113]

nearly got them!! OK forget the plum then, what's best for outdoor and blight resistance, I keep forgetting about pests and diseases when I buy things

some are more resistant to blight than others but there are NO blightproof ones

Roma does well outside, but as MoS said, there are no blight proof varieties.

Perhaps reading up about what to do when blight threatens, and being prepared, will reduce anxiety 

After last year's disaster, that's what I'll be doing

Not a plum one but red alert is a great outdoor bush variety very reliable.

[mumofstig]

but still no more blight resistant than Roma

[Dopey113]

I've grown Red Alert for the last 5 years half-in and half out of a coldframe (the lids won't shut when they are fully grown!) and it hasn't failed to deliver yet - being a bush type you don't have to worry about removing side-shoots, and being a very rapid grower it stands a better chance of delivering the goods in a bad blight year.
