Frequently asked questions
Where in Kenya can I grow Grafted Tree Tomato?+
Grafted Tree Tomato performs best in Nyeri, Embu, Meru, Kiambu and similar zones at sea level to 1,500m above sea level. If you're unsure about your area, send us your location on WhatsApp and we'll confirm suitability before you order.
How long before my Grafted Tree Tomato seedling starts fruiting?+
Because it is grafted from a proven mother tree, expect 12 months to first harvest. Grafted seedlings fruit much earlier than seed-grown trees and stay true to variety.
How often should I water a young Grafted Tree Tomato seedling?+
Water deeply twice a week for the first three months, then once a week through the first dry season. Mulch heavily around the base to lock in moisture and reduce watering needs.
Do I need more than one tree for pollination?+
Grafted Tree Tomato produces well as a single tree, but planting 2 or more nearby improves fruit set and total yield. Most of our customers plant a block for better economics and easier management.
Do you deliver Grafted Tree Tomato seedlings countrywide?+
Yes — Green Sprout Seedlings delivers nationwide via courier and direct transport. Share your order quantity and location on WhatsApp and we'll quote delivery before you pay.
