Possums do not generally eat tomatoes. They prefer sweeter fruits.

However some will eat tomatoes. In this rare video this opossum was filmed eating tomatoes from a vine in a garden.

Note that possums and opossums are completely different animals.

Possums will not eat the plants in your garden, but they will certainly help themselves to certain fruits you may have in your garden, such as mangoes and some berries. They also enjoy new shoots on some plants.

No. True possums, which are native to Australia and quite unrelated to the opossum of North America, do not root in the ground for food. Possums are essentially herbivorous and insectivorous, meaning they will eat a variety of foods. Possums' feeding habits range from omnivores (the Common Brushtail possum) to specialist browsers of eucalyptus (Greater Glider), insectivores (Mountain Pygmy Possum) and nectar-feeders (Honey Possum). In the wild, they eat young shoots, leaves, flowers, nectar and fruit of a variety of trees and shrubs. They also feed on insects. They do not eat fish.

No. True possums live in Australia. Squirrels do not. Possums do not eat squirrels. The American opossum also does not eat squirrels.

Not technically true.  We have them here and Australia and New Zealand have them.  They are slightly different in appearance, but both are called by the same name.  I did a bit of research.  Oppossums will sometimes eat dead or injured squirrels.

They probably would if they could catch them. Opposum is native to North America not Australia.
