Typically either the tomato or the potato grows better than the other. I have never grown this particular combo but that is usually the case with this type of graft.

I'm not interested until they can graft a hamburger in it too.

In our Master Gardener class we had some discussion on grafts. One of the more successful was grafting tomatoes to eggplant stock.

I have seen tree's with multiple fruits on them, Apples, Pears, etc. all on 1 tree. I cant wait to get them, they sound interesting in the least.

There also is one loaded with different citrus fruits - somewhere in the Central Asia in an ex-Soviet republic, called the Friendship tree. |

I have a triple graft tree with plum, nectarine, and peach on one tree. I also have a friend with 5 different varieties of avocados on one tree. This year i am going to try to graft my pink lemonade lemon and my valencia orange onto a key lime tree. If it takes i will be Adding mandarin and tangerine.

I saw this plant at a local nursery, well established at around 16 inches tall. The price of 26.99 is a bit pricey tho I thought. Would like to see a review on this.

I'm just wondering it it will start dying the minute it gets warm. Seems like eggplant roots would be a much better choice, at least in areas with warm summers. I wonder if it will have enough energy to make both potato tubers and tomatoes?
