I tried the new grafter tomato plants this year. I choose cherry tomatoes one yellow and one red variety. The grafted tomatoes are grown on heirloom root stock which makes them vigorous but has the superior taste of the newer varietials. I was apprehensive about the final size of this plant. It is supposed to grow to 8 ft! While the red variety was not as juicy as I would have liked. The tomatoes matured earlier and started bearing fruit very early in the summer. Worth growing for that alone! I have a very shady location and the tomatoes probably only get 4 hours a day max. but they managed to produce a fair number of tomatoes. At between $8. - 12 a plant. You need a few salads to make it worthwhile!
