HEIRLOOM
A well known heirloom Mortgage Lifter was bred in the 1930s by Radiator Charlie the owner of a radiator repair shop that was facing bankruptcy. He had no plant breeding experience, yet he cross-bred four varieties to develop this big, tasty tomato. He sold 1000 plants at $1 each over six years and paid off his mortgage. Fruits of Mortgage Lifter can average 2-1/2 Lbs. and may reach four pounds when grown well. These large, slightly flattened, pink-red tomatoes are meaty and flavorful with few seeds.
Plants are very productive and disease-resistant, and continue to bear until frost.
Indeterminate.

Plant 24-36" Apart
