Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato ‘Chocolate Stripes’
Mighty Mato grafted tomatoes produce 2-3 times (or more!) fruit than ungrafted plants and are more cold tolerant and disease resistant.
‘Chocolate Stripes’ is a scarlet and green striped heirloom tomato with deep, red-brown flesh combining gorgeous colour and rich, sweet, complex flavours. Places high on all taste tests. Superb for slicing or salads. Indeterminate. 70-80 days. 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.
