The TomTato plant sounds like a mashup freak. Why? Like its name suggests, it grows tomatoes and potatoes! The TomTato reportedly took the British horticultural firm Thompson and Morgan ten years of work.
Here are some quotes from Thompson and Morgan director Paul Hansord:
"It has been very difficult to achieve because the tomato stem and the potato stem have to be the same thickness for the graft to work … It is a very highly skilled operation. We have seen similar products. However, on closer inspection the potato is planted in a pot with a tomato planted in the same pot - our plant is one plant and produces no potato foliage."
Is this too weird? Would you eat from it?
