  1. ok so im going to grow some tomatoes this year indoors i was wondering if i could graft cherry tomatoe branches onto a patio tomatoe plant is this possible? if so could someone link me to a guide
     
  2. its possible, but its ridiculously fucking hard. its really not worth the effort at all.

    it is worth the effort to me and why is it so hard tomatoes heal very easily and grafting is very commmon but not in the way im talking about i can find info on grafting seedlings onto rootstocks but nothing about branches also i ddint ask your opinon if it was worth it i asked if it was possible and if someone could post a guide thanks for the "help" im starting to really dislike this forum for lack of help i might move to rollit up
     
  4. it all depends on the people you run into, but your choice bro

    first i would ASSUME that its best to only graft determinates to determinates and indeterminates to indeterminates
    second i would think that "v" graft would be best (dont know official terms, saw it on some guys apple tree)

    and i would second that it will likely be difficult and not worth the effort because you are working with a small, LIKELY annual plant and would have to be gentle and VERY precise and by the time the tomato recovered enough to produce fruit it would be near the end of your season... but if you wanna try it
    SHARP sterile knife or scalpel
    grafting tape
    and lots of TLC

    nothing wrong with experimenting though, we may be wrong entirely
     
  5. yeah your both wrong its super common and really easy to do the plants heal and continue to gro in about 8 days you do it was the seedling stage this is all news to me too and took alot of digging to find the answer but i guess it pretty damn simple and 2 out of 3 grafts heal nicely ill post pics on the plant in about 2 weeks
     
  6. i dont graft relly so i dont think bout it too much but alot of people in crammed places or for fun will graft a tom to a potato same family and u get tubers and fruits from same plant but neither produce as well as from seed would individually
