'TomTato' tomato and potato plant unveiled
Ingenious..
Appreciate it If we could keep religion out of this post.. :o)
I find this superb,.. Any ideas on other similar plants..
A plant that produces both tomatoes and potatoes, called the TomTato, has been developed for the UK market.
Ipswich-based horticultural firm Thompson and Morgan said the plants were not genetically modified.
Similar plants have been created in the UK, but the firm said it was thought to be the first time they had been produced on a commercial scale.
Guy Barter, of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), said it was looking at the plant with "real interest".
"Many people don't have that much space in their gardens and I imagine this sort of product would appeal to them."
A similar product, dubbed the "Potato Tom", was launched in garden centres in New Zealand this week.

This is called graft technique.

On a similar note, we also have Kamlong (Kamatis= tomato; Talong=Eggplant) in the Philppines. Which was grafted successfully in 2002.
