Hi, do you graft for fun or have you found it actually works for stress and disease? Given my short time here, I'm guessing YOU actually did some control test comparisons? Wanna save me the trouble of hunting your posts and let me know what you found? I'd argue making the switch isn't going to grow a bigger fruit but what do I know. I thought about the DRO141TX but then I wondered if the less leaf coverage would have a bearing on fruit size as some reading material suggested this root stock sacrifices foliage for fruit production. Have you tried others? Thx

I've tried a few strains. I am seeing mixed results but sometimes the grafted plants are superior. The roots are more immune to soil diseases and the tomatoes can be more plump. But if you have healthy soil with no disease then it may not make as much difference.
