Luther Burbank, the "Wizard of Santa Rosa" astounded the gardening world in the early 1900s with the first known graft of a tomato stem onto potato roots. His comment that "... the results of this strange alliance were interesting to the last degree" was definitely an understatement. The practicality of such a vegetable union was way ahead of its time and horticulturists have striven to perfect this possibility for the last century.
Now, SuperNaturals Grafted Vegetables, LLC (creators of the Mighty 'Mato brand) have brought Burbank's vision to reality with the release of Ketchup ‘n’ Fries by TomTato. This recent effort has been in the works for over 15 years in Europe and was released into the British market as TomTato in 2014. Plug Connection in San Diego County holds the exclusive production rights for starter plants that will be shipped to growers all over North America.
