Estamino, Maxifort, and DRO141TX are hybrid rootstocks with resistance to corky root rot, Fusarium crown and root rot, and nematodes, among others. Graft a favorite heirloom onto one and you get the heirloom flavor with much tougher roots. Start rootstock seed a few days before the scion so the stems match in size at grafting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"dro141tx-f1-tomato-seed","title":"DRO141TX (F1) Tomato Seed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA very vigorous, better-balanced rootstock.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDRO141TX sends more of its energy into fruit than other vegetative rootstocks while keeping strong vigor, which helps growers whose plants run too leafy early in the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt carries a crop well through heat and a long season.
