A few viewpoints here for you from a thread last year

at £14.99 a pop I don't think so

You too can grow Generically Modified Vegetables now if they could also splice a Venison fly trap to eat the aphids on your runner beans

GM does not come into it.

This is a grafted plant.

[cadalot]

DD I take your point but why would anyone want to do such a thing?

[DD.]

I didn't say I thought it was a good idea! 

I was just pointing out that GM did not come into it.

But novelty sells, so from a commercial point of view, it could be a goldmine    and if you work out that fly trap/runner bean graft Alan, we all want one.  Just remember who your friends are while you are laughing your way to the bank

I'm now very close to being able to insert the kamikaze gene into any vegetable that people don't actually like to eat, or can't be bothered to find out how to grow - it self-destructs before they even have to worry about harvesting it.

[peedee555]

so do you get red potatoes and mashed tomatoes ..

[Growster...]

And folklore says that the leaves can be dried and used as a substitute for tobacco - and snuff.

But as they're also close to deadly nightshade, the plants may do a little more harm than good...

[diospyros]

Surely you wouldn't get 14.99 worth of produce from it.  And when you factor in the costs of growing it, definitely not.

Think we've just witnessed that!
