While I’m no expert, I’m fairly familiar with grafting plants. Growing up, we had a dozen or so apple trees in the yard that were the result of some ISU Extension program from many years ago. While we got various types of apples from the trees, they were all grafted onto crab apple root systems. There was even a tree that had Yellow Delicious on one side of the tree and crab apples on the other. And while I’ve never purchased any, I’ve seen various types of grafted tomatoes promoting higher yield, higher disease resistance, etc. But, I’ll say this is a first…

Talk about maximizing space. I realize they’re both from the “nightshade family,” but I’m not sure I could shake the feeling that this was less like grafting and more like I was living in a bad sci-fi movie every time I had to water it.
