    burpee now offers grafted tomato plants

    Grafting tomatoes can be done by anyone with the patience to do it. The reason you would graft is to use wild or disease resistant varieties for root stock so the desired variety has more vigorous growth. Dont know if that came out right .... I have seen this done and it is way simple.
