This video needs more likes! So informative! Thank you for the evaluation of potted vs in ground. Many forget to comment on this separately and it is such critical information for those of us that are stuck with potted. Thank you, thank you!!!

Very well done Mr. Jonny. Your explanations are well thought out and give me more enthusiasm/reason to try grafting. Be well and best wishes from South Louisiana, USA.

it was a very interesting root comparison...thank you

I think if I had been a bit more careful I could have lifted a lot more root from the grafted plants. The following season was much the same, too.

👏 Q.E.D., Jonny. So well done, and thank you. It’s been great tagging along for the ride, too. Now, I guess I need to give it a bash myself!

I was waiting for this vlog since I watched you actually grafting them in the first place. Grafting is done for a reason, and I think that you have shown why! Really interesting.

Really great video. Without doubt grafting is the way to go. However a lot can go wrong as you point out. Before I try this method, I’m going to try growing 2 plants of the same variety 8 inches from each other and prune each to a single stem. I usually prune to 2 stems because here in Southern California USA the weather can get funky in June or July and the plants will drop there blooms. Relying on a single stem can really cost you production. I’m lucky if I get 4 to 6 fruit from an entire Brandywine or Cherokee Purple. So I’m going to allow the seedlings to get long about 10 inches or so and bury the stem at an angle in the soil, not perpendicular. This should enhance the surface root growth as genetically they won’t grow roots as vigorous as root stock but better then straight down. I hope! I’m trying some of the Italian varieties this year as well. I’m thinking they should grow well here.

That is an interesting method - I'll be interested to hear how you get on 👍😊

Morning Jonny, other than root systems was there any other benefit from grafting such as yields or tastes? It would have been a good comparison chart. Thank you for sharing though ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe

Yes indeed. The grafted plants were much better in almost all respects - longer cropping period, higher overall yield, healthier and more vigorous plants, more fruit per truss and larger fruit, and I think better quality fruit. The only thing they didn’t do was give an earlier crop - perhaps because the fruits were larger and therefore took a little longer to ripen.
