King of the toms , think we will have to call you. All my toms are outside , bar about four plants. I just googled about grafting and step by step how to do, intrigued by it. Wonder would you keep one of the tomatoes from the grafted to save the seeds , one person i heard of doing that via letting the Tom ferment and get the seed. Well done Tony you did very well. All looks brilliant.Gloria is huge.
that is an excellent crop of tomatoes Tony! I've got one flower truss on each of my two plants lol this is the first year i'm growing them. thanks for all the tips for growing these! Jen
Thank you for the video. That is amazing! I never really thought it was worth it to purchased grafted tomatoes, but the size of the trusses on those grafted tomatoes are spectacular!
Great video. Tomato plants sure do look good. May try to save some tomato seeds this year. My early girl and big red cherry tomatoes are the same size.
They look really decent plants Tony. There definitely looks to be difference between your seed sown to the grafted plants. You can buy grafted plants at certain garden centres to avoid having to get them by post. Crimson crush are a lovely tasty tomato. Take care. Nick
Great content Tony, I have 5 tomato plants growing at home from seed - never grown much - let alone toms before - I'm lost at the sukaz you mentioned? what's the issue?
Hi Tony. I’ve grown grafted tomatoes before and had similarly great results. Didn’t bother this year and I wish I had. Certainly getting some grafted toms next year. Glad you’re enjoying the Sungolds. I love them. Mags
Clear difference between the 2. What is your experience about the life of grafted tomatoes? Can grafted indeterminate tomatoes last more than a year, if I don't get winter here. Thanks
Hi Tony not ever grown grafted tomatoes but have about 28 plants growing outside again this year . Have grown Crimson Crush for a few years there is now a Crimson Blush beef tomato, I haven't tried yet, but on the list for next year. Growing,I think 5 varieties and I brought some seeds back from Spain so will be trying those next year great update cheers Jan 💐
I grew costulluto a few years ago mate, I never got much fruit but it made up for that with flavour. The best flavour tomato I've had this year is Black from Tula. I'll have to give the grafted ones a go next year on your say so. Great video as always.
Thanks for the update Tony,tomatoes are looking fantastic 👌 ill be interested to see how the grafted ones taste,l grew Tigerella toms last year but the taste wasent up to much.All the very best 🌱 🌱 🌱
Tony Try grafting your own next year. I bought the submarine seed this year for the rootstock, but never got round to grafting any. So ive grown the submarine tomato and will collect the seed for next year. I wasn't sure whether grafted would be worth it but obviously your observations have proved it. Thanks
Hi Tony, for the first time I actually followed something I saw in one of your vids and I clipped back a lot of the leaves from my toms. Firstly I cut them to about half the size, then a few weeks later as the fruit were forming I removed the lower leaves all together. I have to tell you they grew like bloody demons. In the end I nipped out the tops at about 5 feet tall and I swear I can see the fruit growing by the day. I'll try to get a couple of pics and send them to you. Cheers marra. Paul in Moray Scotland
I watched that video when the grafted tomatoes arrived, I wondered how they would turn out. I’m glad the grafted tomatoes have done so well for you. In my area it’s the norm to grow your tomatoes outdoors, I grow modern bush types and the plants are just massive. Your outdoor tomatoes are looking good, that will really add to your harvest! Klaus
Those are magnificent! I have never seen grafted 'maters for sale in Canada. Thanks for the video! You are going to need the recipe for eastern Canada green tomato chow at the end of the year!!!
Your tomatoes are looking good, and wow to the grafted ones. I've tried a new plant food this year and have to say my tomatoes are huge, much better than previous years. Its the Balanced feed by Chempack. Its not the cheapest but omg the results are fab. I would say as good as your grafted ones. Could be worth a try on all yours. 🍅🌿
I've got 11american tom plants Tony , and only 1tom on them all , feed em dose of Epson salts once a month and a tom feed once a week , first time I've tried American ones , always do well with my Tom's , not this year.yours look great
The root stocks are bred specifically for this purpose and are more expensive, even as seeds, than the regular varieties. You can graft them yourself with some additional equipment or order them already grafted from the nursery. So if your favorite heirloom no longer does well because it lacks the disease resistance of modern hybrids ,you can have it grafted on to a rootstock that is disease resistant. You get the great flavor of the heirloom with the disease resistance of the rootstock. Any tomato should work as a scion with a tomato root stock. Closely related species will take as well. You'll see tomatoes grafted on the potatoes, peppers, eggplants, or other Solanaceae. I have purchased the seeds and grafting clips and will be trying it out this season.
Great video Tony, them toms look brillo, as for that machine why don't you keep it just for the seedlings? I am tying out gardeners plant velcro, and it's great just cut what you want and stick together, but make sure you get the proper stuff and not the crap stuff, as that keeps falling off (don't ask me how i know that) ha ha ha, but i am trying that for the first time, and at the moment it's been great and has not been effected by the rain either. Cheers. Barry (Wirral, ENG)
i'm not having a single problem with my tape machine.. i'm using it on my tomatos, carnations, sprouts and thornless blackberry.......................brian
Hi tony, very interested in the grafting system and gardeners delight are one of my favorites. I take it that they are the graft, what is the root stock variety??
It’s a shame your tape tool didn’t work too well - I was quite impressed by how well it worked when you showed it off to start with! Have you tried the Velcro ties? I find them really easy - and a bit quicker than tying!
I would expect the grafted tomatoes to do better if the soil were contaminated with nematodes or wilt from years of planting the same crops but your ungrafted plants look perfectly healthy. The root stock looks to make for an overall more vigorous plant under clean conditions as well.
Hi Tony! Very impressive selection there pal! Just a question on potatoes... do you buy seed potatoes or can I use some shop bought ones that have sprouted in my kitchen? Going to follow you and grow them in the 30ltr tubs! Thank you
What causes the truss to snap (well, bend over really) when there is a heavy load of fruit? Is it worth reducing the number of fruit per truss ? Thanks !
Tony, have you ever grown one without staking? Just curious. I used to just let mine go mad, they are vines after all, and boy did I ever get big yields. Now my beds are gone, his nibs didn't like them. No more, just pots now. Sigh... Grafted ones seem to give large yields, might be worth a try next year. We will have to wait and see.
Enjoyed the video must try the grafted ones if I can get them here in Ireland. Iost all mine to blossom end rot and i mean all I might be to far North for outdoor tomatoes in county Antrim but will try thanks for the into BA94 Antrim Ireland
Here, one grafted tomato plant is $8.55 and that does not include shipping. Especially considering the deer, who are impossible to protect against 100%, that would be a hefty price. But those trusses are, as you said, magazine worthy. Loved seeing the update.
hey are the grafted tomatoes perennial? i hear rumours that if you graft annual tomatoes onto perennial rootstock , it turns the tomatoes into perennial???????
The grafted plants look great, but are quite pricey, compared to plants grown from seed. For the cost of one grafted plant you could buy seed that might produce say 100 plants, so maybe they're not so impressive, from a value for money perspective. On the other hand, for those with small gardens who only have room for a few plants, the grafted ones might be worth the cost, to get a higher yield in limited space. Sungold - great toms, small but very sweet.
I must admit I often buy garden centre veggies. I don't want millions like you get if you grow from seed, add in the compost and time and it's often so much easier. As I've got older I just don't need the grief. The courgettes I bought have been great and they were £1.70 a plant.
Hi Tony, I have over 50 + tomato plants with a lot of really big tomatoes and really big plants and some well over 7 feet tall. I have and still use my taper on every one of them. I would think you have to have a good look at yours as there must be a problem with it. Check the teeth. Stefan.
Used to like using those. But these days I prefer to just tie them in with jute. I Just chop it all down at end of the season and chuck it in the compost/garden waste bin
Which rootstock was used..?

They have grafted plants pretty often in B&Q as well

My balcony tomatoes as the same - tasteless bitter things - but that's another video.
Amazing crop of Tom's Tony. I'm only growing one plant a cherry which got a lot of vine, only wish I had bought more plants now👍🍅🍅🍅🍅
But that one plant's crop will be fabulous and taste amazing 😊👍

Amazing great yields are the rootstocks from other tomato varieties? I wonder would other plants work with these root stock or other plant species 🌟
The root stocks are bred specifically for this purpose and are more expensive, even as seeds, than the regular varieties.

Looks like grafted is the way to go.
i'm not having a single problem with my tape machine.. i'm using it on my tomatos, carnations, sprouts and thornless blackberry.......................brian
Keep the tape gun Tony, you'll need it next spring. Have you eaten any tomato's of the grafted plants and if you have how are they tasting?
Hi tony, very interested in the grafting system and gardeners delight are one of my favorites. I take it that they are the graft, what is the root stock variety??
Thanks for that, will try grafted toms next year for sure.
It’s a shame your tape tool didn’t work too well - I was quite impressed by how well it worked when you showed it off to start with! Have you tried the Velcro ties? I find them really easy - and a bit quicker than tying!
Nice results I will try ❤
Nice one mate. I’ll give them a go at some point.
All the best
Congrats on 6k subs. I may try a few grafted tomatoes next year.
I would expect the grafted tomatoes to do better if the soil were contaminated with nematodes or wilt from years of planting the same crops but your ungrafted plants look perfectly healthy. The root stock looks to make for an overall more vigorous plant under clean conditions as well.
What are they grafted onto
Love the vlog. Very impressed with grafted toms, rather more than I expected. re: taping machine, PM me, I need a machine to tie plants up.
Hi Tony! Very impressive selection there pal! Just a question on potatoes... do you buy seed potatoes or can I use some shop bought ones that have sprouted in my kitchen? Going to follow you and grow them in the 30ltr tubs! Thank you

Is it worth reducing the number of fruit per truss ?
Thanks !
Cable ties are great for supporting the 🍅 stems.
Hi Tony, what do you do with all your produce?
What days need stay cover on the grafting ?
?
Tony, have you ever grown one without staking? Just curious. I used to just let mine go mad, they are vines after all, and boy did I ever get big yields.

next season i gonna graft my own, really curious what a graftes sungold will do..:)
you can buy seeds from special breeds that are suiteble for rootstock
@@barrie6000
also the graftclips are not expensive..:)@@barrie6000

Sungold - great toms, small but very sweet.
That is an impressive amount of tomatoes! :-)
u could start a shop called tony's tomatoes
where is agood supplier for grafted tomatoes? i got scammed before broken plant sent to my home 😭

Great video, thanks for sharing, new subbed here 2👍
I've grown tom outside for years in Yorkshire, this year I got a greenhouse and poor results

Too long did not watch. Will someone please tell me if it was worth it or not.
U don't do it own grafting?.... it's very easy......n much cheaper than buying them
You mean cloned
