Tomato rootstock

I fancy having a go at grafting tomatoes this year but I'm struggling to find rootstock seeds. The Americans on Youtube all appear to use Maxifort, but I cannot find these seeds in the UK. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Hi Steve,
Have a look at this article about grafting vegetables on the RHS website:
https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=825
It recommends Tomato F1 Aegis and Estamino F1 as rootstocks and advises that the seeds are available from Moles Seeds and Kings Seeds.
Hope this helps and good luck with your project - do let us know how you get on.
All the best.

Thank you. Estamino are now ordered.
