I suspect that Jerry's friend probably grafted the tomato onto Horse
Nettle, Solanum carolinense, a relative of the tomato:

No no. Was horse weed not horse nettle. I've been nettled many times and know the difference, but I don't know the botanical name of horse weed. Here nettle only gets about 4 feet tall while weed can get 6 feet and doesn't sting. It is rough as sandpaper.
