Do you frequently grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for instance in a greenhouse or mini-greenhouse? Diseases can then develop in the soil, to which rootstocks are resistant, making grafting advisable:

The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato gets its name from the larger amount of flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
