For the first time this year I have experimented with taking tomato cuttings, and I’ve been really surprised at how easy it is. My experiment has been so successful I may even sow less seed next year, knowing that I can rely on taking cuttings to boost the number of plants. All four cuttings I made successfully formed roots, and are now mini-plants - significantly more advanced than if I had sown more seed.
The cuttings were all side shoots on my tomato plants. Side shoots grow diagonally out of the elbow between the main vertical stem of the tomato plant and a horizontal branch. In previous years, I have always pruned away these side shoots, as pruning helps to concentrate the energy of the tomato plant on growing fruit rather than leaves.
