Now I'm wondering if a tomato branch can be grafted onto a potato plant.
It could be done but the competing interests of the potato wanting to make tubers and the tomato top wanting to bloom and make fruits creates a stalemate...runty tubers and tomato nubbins that barely ripen before the whole plant system goes into early senescence.
