Curious What disease are you trying to outrun with hybrid rootstock in Montreal?

Hi KarenO, I agree with you that a better suited tomato is the way to go. specially now that I read that grafting gives almost no improvement for leaf diseases. And over here it is mostly blight that I know is killing our plants toward the end of season
still I like grafting just for the fun... I grow like 20 plants per year, mostly different species, and I like to challenge it gives me.

I am not aware of grafting having any effect on seeds. I also believe that change is good sometimes. Regards
