Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato ‘Bumble Bee Purple’
Mighty Mato grafted tomatoes produce 2-3 times (or more!) fruit than ungrafted plants and are more cold tolerant and disease resistant.
‘Bumble Bee Purple’ is a striped, crack-resistant cherry tomato with purple and dark green stripes and great flavour. Round, 1.5 inch fruits. 65-75 days. Indeterminate. Mighty Mato grafted tomatoes are hand grafted onto super strong tomato rootstock which provides greater disease resistance, greater cold tolerance (so tomatoes start growing faster in the spring), and great yield. Mighty Mato grafted plants usually produce 2-3 times more fruit than ungrafted plants, a difference that is especially large for heirloom varieties which do not always offer high yields.
