Has anyone ever seen this ?

Our daughter just sent us these pics of her Tami G Grape Tomato plant. It looks like roots growing out of the stem and, she says, EVERY branch.....

I have seen this quite often although not as prevalent as these pictures show. It will be easy to root a cutting if your daughter wants more plants. This is a recessive trait of one of the parent plants

Thanks, Chuck......She had ask me if she should "push some of the branches down to the ground" because they looked like roots, to her.

If she would cut one off first, sure, but better if she stuck it in some perlite or potting soil. They are roots, or the beginnings of them.

As healthy as those plants look she could probably just lay them on a rock and they would grow. I would definitely keep some seeds from those plants.

What are you like?

Yes, it's a very strong plant - might be asking for more soil and water! Just might be!
