In our local Wyevale they were selling grafted tomatoes and promising a 75% greater yield.

What's this all about then!?

They are grafted onto a vigorous rootstock.

Had some last year and wont be getting them again, I sowed some of my own late and they were better.

So, best to avoid these then?

I've got one grafted pepper plant that I'm giving a go, in the hope of a early crop while my seeded ones grow up. Can always just get some to try if you're unsure and judge for yourself.

I'm giving grafted veg a go this year - toms, aubergines and cukes

Time will tell.

[bravemurphy]

I would not say avoid them, its just they did not go well for me.

You may get better results.

[Mark's Sussex Allotment]

Fair enough. we'll see.

I tried grafted toms last year with very good results, faster growing ,stronger plant with a very heavy crop,but at £4.50 each don't think the pros outweigh the cons.

Stupidly overpriced IMO. You only have a given amount of height in a greenhouse, and if you can get them to the roof and ripen the fruit with seed sown plants, the only benefit is Disease resistance, and I don't suffer from that.
If you want vigorous plants with lots of fruit, try some vigorous f1 seed, Shirley for example, grows and fruits so strongly that the trusses need tying up regularly to stop them breaking.
