Here is Tatiana's page for the variety; they call it the Japanese Tomato Tree:

Actually there's no one variety called a tree variety. If you go to Tania''s database look up ClimbingTrip-L Crop and that one is called a tree tomato as well.

The tern tree has been used in kind of a slang way to describe many varieteis that have very long vines and when grown upright they can reach great heights,

True Dwarfs have been called tree varieties as well, since they have a very thick main stem that many refer to as a tree trunk. Those true Dwarfs all come from the first one known, which is Tomato de Laye, found at Chateau de Laye in France in I think about 1862 or around that time time, I didn't confirm the exact date,

Then there's another one called a tree tomato, I think the genus and species have been changed, but Iknow it as Cyphomandra Betaceae and it's not even a tomato but the fruits look like roma tomatoes and it grows as a tall shrub. THey used to be featured for sale in the Sunday Supplements.,

Thanks for the information. I had seen the listing on Tatina's site but it didn't include why it was called "tree". I have other orange ones that I like so will probably not use these seeds.
