Tomato Mortgage Lifter Seeds - Organic Heritage Seeds

The Tomato Mortgage Lifter is a legendary heirloom variety renowned for its massive size, meaty texture, and rich, sweet flavour. This beefsteak-style tomato produces fruits that can weigh up to 1 kg, with a deep pinkish-red colour and smooth, slightly flattened shape.

When fully grown, Mortgage Lifter tomatoes offer a mild, well-balanced taste with low acidity, making them perfect for slicing onto sandwiches, dicing into fresh salads, or cooking into hearty sauces.

This variety earned its name because its original breeder used the proceeds from selling these plants to pay off his mortgage in the 1930s. Mortgage Lifter tomatoes are prized for their vigorous growth, high yield, and impressive size, making them a favourite among gardeners looking for both taste and volume. Compared to smaller cherry or Roma tomatoes, Mortgage Lifter stands out with its gigantic fruits and exceptional heirloom flavour.
