When to thin
Once upon a time on usenet ~misfit~ wrote:
[snip] This summer I've had success bud grafting peaches, nectarines and several citrus varieties, mostly on dwarfed trees in pots as I rent and even though I've been in this house for over a decade I don't see the point in developing a home orchard in-ground. It's got me thinking... I wish there was a plant that would serve as a perrenial rootstock for tomatoes, one that I could graft new scion 'wood' to each spring so I don't loose weeks of potential fruiting time on growing roots. I love tomatoes but refuse to buy the fake ones sold in supermarkets. I'm thinking that a tamarillo plant might serve the purpose of a perrenial tomato rootstock. I used to grow them but gave up due to mobility issues and space constraints, gave the plants to goodwill. I never thought of grafting tomatoes onto them then. Now I see a neighbour has one growing, I might have to wander over and ask if I can take a cutting of it. -- Shaun.
