Solanum lycopersicum Mighty Mato ‘Momotaro’
Mighty Mato grafted tomatoes produce 2-3 times (or more!) fruit than ungrafted plants and are more cold tolerant and disease resistant.
‘Momotaro’ is one of the most popular tomatoes grown in Japan, a country of people who appreciate flavour and quality in their food. These beautiful and distinctive dark pink tomatoes are 6-7 ounces with meaty flesh and a wonderful sweet and tangy flavour. An early producer with great yields. 70 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.
