Question
This was taken by a friend in citified Chicopee, Mass. The fruit looks like an unripened tomato and growing up thru the sidewalk cement. Is it an edible fruit?
Answer
tracyd123, yes, it certainly looks like Solanum lycopersicon (garden tomato). These spring up occasionally in odd places. I was recently at the base of a remote cliff in western Maine and found a tomato growing there (possibly seeds from a hikers sandwich fell out and germinated--who knows?). Best wishes.
