GRAFTING ROOTSTOCK
You’d love to try Grafted Tomato Plants but hate the $8 cost per plant? Then Graft Your Own! Grafting vegetable plants is just now a big rage in the US, but has been practiced for generations in Europe. Grafting joins the top of the desired plant – the scion – to the root system of another plant – the rootstock. As the two plants fuse, the remarkable flavor of the fruits from the scion combines with the vigor and disease resistance of the rootstock to produce a plant better than either parent. The grafted plant offers greater yields, larger fruits, an extended harvest season and greater resistance to diseases and pests.

Master this skill!

I have planted with this rootstock for 3 years now and every year I have gotten better at it! These produce tomato plants that outlast my non-grafted plants by 3 months. I find the real benefit is that they produce fruit longer into the season. I live in zone 9. The roots are pencil thick and stretch way out underground. No disease and I plant in the same beds every year. I joke that the stock looks like the hulk compared to other plants. The main challenge is getting them started - you will kill many plants before finding success. I found more success grafting the scion when the plant is young (2 weeks) and using the smaller grafting clips. Good luck!
