Mortgage Lifter Tomato is an indeterminate heirloom, open-pollinated variety that produces some of the largest heirloom tomatoes you'll find. This variety dates back to the 1930s in West Virginia. It was developed by a farmer who then sold the tomatoes for $1 each and quickly paid off his mortgage. Mortgage Lifter Tomato produces giant fruit that can weigh between 2 1/2 and 4 pounds. Fruits have a reddish-pink color and have deep lobes characteristic of most heirlooms. These tomatoes have a nice meaty texture and tangy flavor that's filling and delicious. Use solid structures like our heavy-duty tomato cages to support these large fruits.
