At Disney they have a BIG one, it really looks like a tree trunk. I have been a big fan of beefsteak, or anything else that had "Beef" in the name. Right now I have a Beefmaster going that has already set fruit. |

Re: Tomatoes
Isn't 'Tomato Tree' another type of fruit? I read that somewhere it seems.

Re: Tomatoes
Found it:
Q. What is a tree tomato? A. The treelike plant sold as a "tree tomato," is a different species from garden tomatoes. It is a woody tree that grows 8 feet or taller and bears after 2 years. The tree tomato is a tropical plant and does not overwinter outside anywhere the temperature drops below freezing. The fruits are small (1 to 2 inches in diameter) and are used primarily in stews or preserves rather than in salads. Some of the common, vigorous, indeterminate garden tomato varieties that are suitable for training and pruning (such as Ponderosa) are also sold as climbing or "tree tomatoes" by some seed stores. I would love to have one in a GH. |

Re: Tomatoes
No doubt you can collect the seeds Mike, and they should grow true. Don't be scared...they're likely as easy as pie to grow. Now you've got me wanting to sow some of my seeds!
Be sure to show lots of shots as they grows for you... : ) |

Re: Tomatoes
No way, its real tomatoes. I dont know how good they taste, but I hope they are good. I believe its know as The Italian Tomato Tree, Grows up to 25ft
This picture is from Epcot at Disney, if you go on the ride called "The Land" You will get a short boat tour of their green house. I did not take this picture but this is exactly what is it. But it was ordered from TV and shipped from China, so WHO knows what was really in that box. LMAO Last edited by Worm_Farmer : 03-27-2011 at 11:20 AM. |

Re: Tomatoes
Something has eaten the tender leaves on my seedling tomatoes, I suspect rabbits though I haven't caught them at it. I have now raised the youngsters up on a table! ~JaNan

Re: Tomatoes
The 20-5-30 "banana fuel" is also an excellent formula for fruiting vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants. Feed non-juvenile plants about 1/4 cup dissolved in a gallon of water per month.
