Hi,
Has anyone grown Litchi tomato? It is not a real tomato just in the tomato family. I had a few seeds and sowed some last night. I have been reading a lot of mixed reviews. Some say it is sweet, others say it it is tart. Some complain about the seeds when you eat it, and others say it is not a big deal. I even read one review that said it needs more than one plant for cross pollination. Now I am not feeling really excited about growing this plant. It is also very thorny so I have to think of a way to secure it and have it away from people and animals to prevent an injury.

Oh Boy! Thorny doesn't give it justice. It is quite the prolific grower with thorns over an inch long. I grew them last year and they grew great, produced tons of fruit but I couldn't find anyone who liked to eat them. They were quite the conversation piece but that was about it. I won't grow them again.
