Like superheroes, Mighty ‘Mato grafted tomatoes are stronger, faster, more able to fend off foes than regular tomato plants – and their harvests are bigger!
Mighty ‘Mato goes above and beyond the call of duty, defending against pests, diseases, temperature extremes, and poor soils while producing long, abundant harvests of tasty fruit!
Grafting joins the top part of one plant (the scion) to the root system of a separate plant (the rootstock). As their tissues heal, they fuse into one super plant that combines the rootstock’s vigor and disease resistance with the scion’s exceptional fruit quality. Non-GMo. The graft must stay above soil level, and prune lateral suckers for best fruiting.
The Mighty ’Mato line-up includes twelve heirloom and four hybrid varieties that will be joined by grafted peppers and eggplant, all to bring big, wholesome harvests to your garden. Grow them all!

Bright red, 4-6 oz. round slicers. Early, dependable, and flavorful fruits in almost any climate! Indeterminate. V, F, N. Non-GMO. 50-60 days from transplant.
BENEFITS of grafted vegetables: improved vigor, disease resistance, & tolerance of temperature swings – for earlier, longer, more abundant harvests.
GRAFTED TOMATOES are created by attaching the top part of one plant (the scion, chosen for fruit quality) to a vigorous, disease-resistant solanum rootstock.
TRANSPLANTING: Plant 24-36” apart in rows 3-4’ apart in full sun. Keep graft well above soil level so scion does not root. Prune carefully so energy goes to fruit production and not excess foliage. Remove suckers/roots that form below or just above the graft. Vigorous plants require support.
