I grafted a 'Better Boy' on to a 'Micro Tom' (8" tall tomato plant) last evening, (2013-March-2), just for fun, & practice, to see if I can get a small tomato plant that will give me a large fruit. Do you think I could use the leader from an older plant to be the scion.

In a greenhouse, do you use domes for your 10x20 trays?

Hadn't heard of that one. Did a quick search on it and didn't see any for sale in the USA, found them in the UK though. This will be the first time I've tried grafting tomatoes. I did get some of the Maxifort seed. From what I've found so far, some rootstocks are better for certain things, like plant growth, variety, or fruit production. Also I'm not sure if growing a Maxifort plant for seed will work. It looks like the Maxifort itself may be a hybrid, so any seed might be "ify".

What about Aegis rootstock? I sowed few seeds and I'll graft tomatoes on Aegis rootstock.

Can you graft the tomato plant on a miniature tree stock for indoor growing?
