[Avodah] tree of 40 fruits

[elazar teitz via Avodah]

     The question was asked, "What's the halakha regarding eating fruit
from one of these trees? Since
the grafting was done by a non-Jew, is it okay to eat?"

     The only issur achila of kilayim is kilei hakerem.  Anything else may
be eaten.

     With regard to the fruits of a graft, the explicit halacha in Yoreh
Deiah (295:7) is that it may be eaten even by the one who violated the
prohibition by performing the graft.  (That halacha also continues that one
may take a branch from the graft and plant it.)

      As to the original question about the potato-tomato combination,
grafting is prohibited: even though neither is a tree (295:3), but as
above, the resulting product may be eaten.
