Hi,
Did you understand what kind of tree that was ?

Very interesting to see this man's grafting skills.  Novel idea, and God knows what else this man can grow in that kind of climate!  Figs must grow like weeds.

Can't understand Italian, so I have no idea exactly what species of tree he was using as an understock....my two guesses: "Angel's Trumpet" (Brugmansia)....or, "Tree Tomato" (Cyphomandra betaceae).....but....??????

I will wait for the translations/explanations.

Thanks,
Frank

Eggplant, BRUSH PEA (Solanum torvum) Grafter’s Choice!
This species is a vigorously growing perennial, making it excitingly choice rootstock for its compatible Solanum cousins such as Tomatoes, Naranjilla‘s & other Eggplants.

Wow! Have never seen anything like that.

Gordenia-

Thanks for identifying the plant used as the under-stock....Solanum torvum.

All very interesting.

I enjoyed watching the video. Here is another one of the same tree.

Love watching the videos, and especially enjoy watching someone else climbing a ladder to harvest fruit growing 10 feet off the ground.  If I tried doing what the guy in the video is doing, I'd wind up in some rehab unit. Men, "of a certain age" should not be on a ladder, picking eggplants. : )

I have seeds for a tomato tree, but we can't figure out where to put one so it can get the support it needs.  This year, gonna be happy with the Big Boy tomato I can tie to the trellis.

It amazes me he does this in full sun, with no worries.  Where is the shade cloth and all the anguish?
