The $33.12 tomato plant...

I know that grafting has become the latest craze for tomato plant vendors, but this shows you just how crazy it's become. And yes, that's the price for ONE plant. I called them, to be 100% sure.

Wow two 3.99 plants grafted together into one way overly priced gimmick. Im guessing the rest of the price is for the rootstock. Yikes!!!!!!
|
I just saw that on TV!:?:
|
They have a video and they say it has a "zoomed" up rootstock. They also state that "all" tomato viruses come up though the rootstock and their rootstock stop them.

Come on now gang, it's on TV. It must be true!:surprised:
And TV in this context is TeleVision not TomatoVille...... |
In the video at 6:15, he calls them "heirlooms". So deceptive.
|
Territorial sells these for $19.95. They are called Ketchup 'n' Fries :)
|
I think the "Ketchup 'n' Fries" is the one with the potato rootstock. I'm not sure though. Check it out.

You are right, Dutch. I didn't realize that the $33.12 version uses another tomato as rootstock variety. I would bet on $19.95 since not only it is cheaper but you also get to harvest a different vegetable from the "same" plant. Hopefully, both tomato and potato parts start producing simultaneously :D

Even worse

41 bucks for a big beef and pineapple grafted plant.
|
Is there a limit on how many I can buy?
I want to beat the rush if there is.:yes: Worth |
The other one they were selling on TV was I think Sun Sugar and a red cherry, maybe Sweet 100. Who can't grow cherry tomatoes? :?
|
Hmm,
Maybe I should turn a wintertime hobby into a money makin' proposition! :D |
