Our first year grafting tomatoes! Often seen in orcharding, where you can graft different citrus or stone fruit to create a “fruit salad” tree, grafting is also a fun way to boost yield and results from your tomato crop.
Using the ‘Fortamino’ tomato from our seed company @botanical_interests you want to graft stems of similar size together. Slice at the same angle on both stems for best chance at success.
After the graft, keep in the dark and mist for a few days, then slowly re introduce to light. A week is about the time you can consider a transplant into the garden.
In our case, ‘Fortamino’ supercharges your grafted tomato with more leaves to prevent sun scald, more tomatoes per truss, and higher resistance to fusarium!

I grafted a "Cherokee Carbon" scion (top) to a 'Fortamino' rootstock (bottom). We sell the 'Fortamino' variety at our seed company Botanical Interests!
Our favorite tomato is white currant tomatoes. I could join white currants top to Barry Crazy tomatoes plant at the bottom. So we would get lots of white currants tomatoes like Barry Crazy characteristics? I cut the white currants top yesterday & rooting now. I did it. Hopefully it works
Please help. I'm having trouble transporting my seedlings. They die right after transplanting. I am very careful. What could be going wrong
This remind me of that Chimera episode on FMA.
Plants are amazing. I once broke an orchid spike that was starting to bud. I was so sad, thinking I was going to lose those blooms. I took a little hair clip and used it to secure the broken spkie back where it belonged. It actually grafted back onto itself. I didn't do anything other than clip it securely. No wrapping it or extra humidity. Absolutely amazing if you ask me!
Don’t bury it above the graft
Your video is always interesting ❣
Does this count as a gmo plant now?
I thought was gonna be ketchup and fries graft
I bought a grafted heirloom tomato plant. They were the best tomatoes ever.
B oils help it heal quicker and can help success rates to grafting

Even better. Make yourself a pomato
We once grafted tomatoe to the root stock of a wild native cousin of eggplants- turkey berry. We usually graft eggplants on them, but the tomatoes produced for longer with thi root stock.
Too much work
Roots on what guy what did you switch it with? I don’t understand what you switched it with another tomato plant. I’m kind of confused.
So … if you buried it up to the graft it would definitely root at the graft , it would have Both kinds of roots , right ? You should definitely try this as a control and note the results.
I would love to see the results
No mention of varieties. Not very helpful.
I will try this on the "Tomatoes" in my loft.
Or you can allow your tomato to grow at least three or four additional leaves. This should put it around a foot tall. Cut all over leaves off except for the very top. And then planted all the way to the top of those leaves. This will force the plant to grow strong roots all the way down that part of the plant you just buried. It does the same thing without losing a lot of plants to this grafting
I watched a once VeggieTales that explain how this was an abomination against God
Is this considered gmo?
Is it important to keep the graft above ground?
BUT IS THE DISEASE RESISTANT TOMATO HEALTHY FOR CONSUMPTION??😃👍🍅🍅🍅🔥🙏👑➕📖🔥
Use an eggplant as stock and your desired tomato as scion. Eggplant tolerates water better so it is better for rainy season.
Huh interesting way to do selective breeding or artificial selction
BEAR WITNESS!
It's like cutting someone's legs off then giving them longer ones
Two different Tomatoes ??? What two different tomatoes ???
You just created the new Rokakaka
