Will this graft pull through??

[Montray Davis]

Hello, thanks for reading my thread!

Firstly, I guess I should start by asking can Tomatoes even be grafted to peppers? More specifically, I have grafted a Big Boy Hybrid (Indeterminate) to a Carolina Reaper.

If this is possible, please give your opinion on this graft. It's been holding up for about 5 days now, and only minor signs of yellowing, though, all but one set of leaves are completely drooping. I guess one not drooping is a good sign?

I have attached photos! Thanks

It might but what is the point? You are not going to have peppers on tomato stock and vice versa nor will you have a half tomato pepper. For instance you can graft a lime onto a lemon but you will not have a lemon lime, at least not with grafting

It's purely for fun... 100% fun and nothing else.
Well, I have some serious plans down the road, and, this is pretty much my practice .

Most tomatoes would die within 5 days of no soil or water, right ?

They won't necessarily die completely but they sure won't be happy campers either

Well, I hope this graft works because I've tried about 10 times now with no success.... But I must say, none of them have barely yellowed just at the tips. They all pretty much all crisp and dried out -- especially with this Texas heat. I have my fingers crossed!

If it's still that wilted after five days, then, unfortunately, I think it has passed its permanent wilting point.

Thanks for your help!

And what about the leaf that is not wilting ? Will the life be slowly sucked out of it?

No.
It may make it.

No.

Thanks so much! This gives me a bit of hope!
