Cloning tomatoes.
 
For several years now l have found that gardeners delight tomato plants have been producing quite small tomatoes. So three years ago l planted some old seeds that l had saved and managed to get a slightly larger tomato. l wwould have saved the seeds from them but l was also growing several other varieties and a large pot of coriander. The bees loved the coriander flowers and were practically queuing up for them, but they also visited every other flower in the greenhouse. The outcome was that l decided to take cuttings to keep the plants overwinter. This was a success, and l have continued doing it for two years. They are now in their third year from cuttings. Now. sometimes when l have trouble sleeping at night my mind starts wandering and l started to wonder if when applied to grafted tomatoes on disease resistant root stock, the resistance would be transferred to a cutting. Anyone with any thoughts on the subject?
