What is your view on grafted seedlings?

Grafted plants, highlighting a gardening technique where a high-yielding vegetable scion is fused onto a disease-resistant rootstock, a practice that has been used commercially for decades to boost vigor and yields, as noted in sources like Bite Sized Gardening (2023).

Grafted vegetable plants, such as the cucumbers shown, can resist root diseases and fruit earlier than non-grafted varieties, but they require careful maintenance like keeping the graft scar above soil and more frequent feeding, according to Suttons Gardening Grow How (2025).
