I just got seeds for a tomato tree in a recent seed exchange. I can't wait to plant them. Do you think I need to do anything different from a regular tomato seed for germination?
Tammy, I always thought I understood those to take a long time to produce something...*like 2(ish) years???* And they're more grown in those really warmer climates, where there's no frosts/cold spells.. Where you planning on putting it in a pot/container to be able to move in and out????

Yes the tomato tree is really a small fruit tree. The fruit is slightly different than the regular tomatoe, (the shape is like that of a Plum tomatoe) the skin is tougher and ranges from orange to red. It is most commonly used in Colombia to make juice. Yummy. I'll try to get more info, I've never grown it, but when I lived in Colombia it was one of my favorite fruit juices.
Made me mad though, it was advertises as a tomato tree and supposedly got x amount of feet tall with huge grapefruit sized toms on it.
If anyone happens to be a guest and is reading this post, just a warning---don't fall for the tomato tree things you see for sale in some catalogs out there.
It sounds interesting. I don't know if I'll be able to keep it alive over two years but I'll give it a try. I wonder if I know of anyone that has a solarium or greenhouse for the other ones I planted lol. I know I won't be able to handle 4 of them lol. Thanks for the information all.
