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.

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?
