Very well done demonstration. The closeups of the grating process are very helpful as is the discussion about humidity control post-graft. I'm definitely going to give it a try next season.
I have been successful grafting tomato varieties onto other family members of the nightshades, in particular kangaroo apple. Very hardy perennials native to New Zealand and the East coast of Australia. The grafted tomato plants do very well. Shoots and leaves will also be produced on the rootstock which I think is ok to support the grafts through the colder season when the tomatoes become dormant. The grafts came through their first winter (in the greenhouse) no problem, producing tomatoes a month before new seedlings do and at least a month longer than regular tomato plants do in the greenhouse here in the south island of New Zealand. The shoots on the rootstock are continuously removed during the growing season. The rootstock is vigorous enough to accept laterals but certainly the plants need mechanical support with the weight they carry! I tried different nightshades but kangaroo apple (Poro Poro, Solanum aviculare, but sometimes also called Solanum laciniatum) worked really well.
I used your instructions with the 3 MM clip and Humidity dome. It appears all 12 grafts will survive. I used the NE Seeds RST-04-105-T rootstock with Black Krim, Brandy Boy, Rutgers and Mortgage Lifter. thanks
After my plant dying this year of wilt i have bought a grafted plant that will hopefully give me some fruit for chutney, good to understand what they are and the benefits.
What are your criteria for selecting a suitable root stock for tomatoes? Does it have to be another tomato variety, or is it better to select a different species that's known for vigorous roots? Thank you
Thanks for the question. It will probably be best to contact the specialist in this video. You can find her information here: ag.purdue.edu/hla/Pages/profile.aspx?strAlias=guan40&intDirDeptID=16 She might be able to point you to some resources. Thanks!

We checked in with you specialist and she asked that we share this publication with you that may be of some help. extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/HO/HO-260-W.pdf Thanks.

Thank you, Wenjing for the very informative video! I appreciate the tips for grafting on a small scale. I will be giving it a try this year!
Thanks, nicely done and contain a lot of useful information
Thank you! Really clear and informative

Awesome video. Thank you so much for this

Demonstration is very useful for practical use
Could I use a Giant Belgian as a rootstock and a small cherry variety as a scion , or should I stick with a standard variety rootstock like maxifort ?

Where can I purchase this tray and moisture/humidity dome?
Great video
Humility doom ❤
Can you explain what is the advantages by grafting this tomato young plant , thanks

The main benefits are controlling soilborne diseases and improve plant vigor.
some plants highly-resist to diseases and its root system is strong, if u graft your favorite plant into these plants base, it will bear more fruits.
Some rootstocks can improve a plant’s resistance to drought (among other things).

Can't figure out if plastic doom is a better band name or album name? 🤔
where did you find your tray at?
The featured Purdue professor, Wenjing Guan, says you can find the humidity domes at local, or many online greenhouses or seed suppliers.
Can indeterminate scions be grafted to determinate rootstocks?

Yes. But you may want to use a commercial rootstock.
@@wenjingguan9243 why are rootstock's seed so expensive compared to scion seed?
@@wenjingguan9243 how can seed be saved to keep from rootstock due to its high price?
Well explained. Thanks!
Hi. I need help, i'm from Colombia i need help, i have tomato grafts and it's dying. Simeone could help me please

WHY is grafting necessary?
