Tomato Mortgage Lifter

Tomato Mortgage Lifter is a legendary heirloom with a story as rich as its flavour. Developed during the Great Depression and named for its ability to “lift mortgages” thanks to its exceptional yields, this late-season variety still impresses home growers today. The plants are robust and fast-growing, producing hefty, flattened fruit that’s full of flavour and ideal for fresh or cooked dishes.

With a sunny spot and some frost protection, this tomato variety will thrive in the garden or in generous-sized pots. It’s a staking tomato, so giving it proper support early on will help it reach its full potential. Once established, Mortgage Lifter delivers a steady supply of large, juicy tomatoes with firm flesh and old-fashioned taste.

Whether you’re aiming for a generous crop or simply love growing tomatoes with character, this variety doesn’t disappoint. It combines heritage charm with performance, making it a favourite among seasoned growers who want reliable results and a touch of gardening history in their patch.
