- little or no heating required Excellent resistance to soil-borne pest & diseases
- no more ring culture or grow bags
- plant straight in the soil Greater tolerance to nutritional disorders Tomatoes
- We have selected leading commercial varieties & some traditional favourites
- chosen for their fruit quality & taste
- & grafted them, under carefully controlled conditions. Varieties are listed in approximate order of fruit size. Note that grafted tomatoes are not suitable for grow bags. An enhanced technique for tomato grafting
- Since 2012, all our grafted tomato varieties now use this new technique which leads to even earlier & bigger crops, with fruiting beginning lower on the stems, producing at least one extra fruit truss per plant during the season!
