Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, which rootstocks are resistant to, and thus grafting is recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As an aid, we recommend these grafting clips: 847520 Grafting clip 1.5 mm.
Elongated, sweet tomatoes with lots of flesh. In subtropical countries, these are the type used for processing into juices, soups, ketchup, dried tomatoes, etc. Tip: freeze Roma tomatoes, skin and all.
