My guess is it's only a transplant. It'll ask a lot to produce both fruits and tubercules, I wonder about the results.

Now we can have tomatoes with potato viruses, and potatoes with tomato viruses, great.

I'd heard about this on a news story. Thought it was a hybrid, but hearing this is just the tomato grafted onto a potato?? Seems like a waste of time to graft one annual plant onto another annual.

If it's an hybrid, I wonder if the potatoes have seeds in and the tomatoes are full of starch… )

I think the point was to be space saving. This is meant for home gardeners, I believe.
