Grafted Tomatoes
Posted: Sat Apr 25, 2020 10:22 pm
So back in January I ordered some Orange Paruche seedlings from Territorial Seed, and they arrived yesterday. They had some paperwork with them about grafted tomatoes, but I didn't know if that applied. So I was getting ready to plant one out today and I looked at it and it sure looked grafted, so I read the instructions...and it said "keep graft line well above soil level".
I had just got finished with some of my leggy seedlings that I grew, which I planted as deep as possible, and these seedlings came in a tiny pot that was only half full...so they got planted about 2" deep to keep the graft in the right place.
Is this an Orange Paruche thing, a Territorial Seed thing, or what?
What is the purpose of a grafted tomato and what is it grafted to? Just when I finally acclimated myself to burying the stem when you plant a tomato...here's one you're not supposed to bury the stem.
