Grafted Tomatoes
I got a Sutton's catalogue yesterday and they are advertising same. http://www.suttons.co.uk/Shop/Vegeta...htm?sku=252201 I am interested as an experiment - they are 3 quid plus a root - so not cheap. Does anyone have any experience of them? |

Does anyone have any experience of them? The blurb includes :-- "Get a bumber crop of tasty fruit with our Turbo Tomatoes" Is that an incentive? -- (¯`·. ®óñ© © ²°¹° .·´¯)0 |

Does anyone have any experience of them? Yes, in the sense of just grafted, no in the sense of commercial plants. I nipped out the usual laterals from the stem/leaf joint and grafted some into potatoes with the idea of getting two crops from one stand. Not a success that way, but grafting the same cuttings onto the emerging stems did work. However, when trying thi, do be careful - I've friends in the local (Norfolk) plant-breeding establishment who both specialise in Solanum, and similar experiments have taken place there, or maybe in colleagues' gardens. Graft a tomato onto a poisonous solanum's rootstock (belladonna was tried...) and the fruit will be poisonous. Well, the ones they tested were, so I'm not going down that road innit. -- Rusty |
