They came in these little peat pots that say just add water and wait 1 - 2 weeks. The box is label China, should I bet scared? Do you know if I will be able to keep the seeds and regrow them?

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.

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

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.

Thumbs up 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...

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

I didn't order all this, and their answer was "Refuse the package" and NONE of them were live plants they are all peat pots filled with a potting mix and im Guessing 1 seed in each pot.

Here is how the Tomatoe Tree"s were shipped.


Set the pots out and let them soak, now waiting for some action. This is what their potting medium looks like.


Here is my current Beefmaster,

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!

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.
