Solanum lycopersicum

Mortgage Lifter is a famous American heirloom producing large pink-red beefsteak tomatoes with meaty flesh, relatively few seeds and a rich, sweet flavour. The substantial fruits are superb for slicing, sandwiches, burgers and salads, where their excellent eating quality really shines.

The variety was developed in West Virginia during the 1930s by radiator repairman M.C. “Radiator Charlie” Byles. He reportedly crossed several of the largest tomatoes he could obtain, including German Johnson, and selected the resulting plants over successive seasons. Byles sold seedlings for $1 each, and the story goes that their popularity allowed him to pay off his home mortgage, giving the tomato its memorable name.

Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, producing heavy crops over an extended season. The large fruits and strong vines require sturdy staking or trellising, with consistent moisture helping reduce stress as the beefsteak fruits develop.

Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
