Atomic Fusion is not quite stable because it is a recent variety. The shape of the fruits may change and the plants may produce small Roma fruits weighing about 0.7 oz. (20 g) or large Roma fruits weighing more than 2 oz. (60 g) like those shown in our photo. Brad Gates never specified the right weight of these fruits. They can have pointed tips or be rather plum-shaped.
