I once scoffed at the idea of small scale growers grafting annuals, but the imperatives of greenhouse growing made me rethink my kneejerk reaction.
Every time we improve bit of land it becomes more precious, and we should chose our plant tenants accordingly.
This pomato video reports a good yield on both the tomato and potatoes ends, but the tomatoes end did better than they do on their own roots:
Combine that with the idea that potatoes can be started outside under cover incredibly early, and you are looking at a something worth doing.
The next logical step is grafting tomatoes to a hardy perennial Solanum, but I cant find anything on that as of yet.
The next best thing would be grafting onto a perennial that could over winter indoors.
Tamarillo is the obvious choice, but I've found nothing on this either.
Can annual ever be grafted onto perennials?
All I've found to answer this question is this:
Experiment Station Record, Volume 5
So, what I take from all this is I should try this with potatoes, ideally early earlies.
I might also try to get some of the special "rootstock" tomatoes, just to see what they produce on their own.
