Abstract
Although the garden tomato is very highly self-polli nated in most regions of cultivation, it is cross-pollinated at much higher rates in the range of its wild relatives— Ecuador, Peru, and northern Chile. Cohabitation of garden tomatoes and an intercompatible species in this region permits extensive gene exchange between them. These factors lead to a high level of variability and promote rapid evolution of new forms.

So I would say its possible, though I would think L. peruvianum would have to be the male parent in the cross.
