The Mortgage Lifter tomato is an heirloom variety that originated in the 1930s in West Virginia, USA. It was developed by a gardener named M.C. Byles, also known as "Radiator Charlie," who crossbred several tomato varieties to create a plant with large, flavorful fruits. The name "Mortgage Lifter" stems from Byles' success in selling the plants for $1 each during the Great Depression, allowing him to pay off his $6,000 mortgage.
 
This tomato variety is known for its large, meaty fruits, which can weigh up to 2 pounds each. They have a sweet, rich flavor with low acidity, making them ideal for slicing, canning, and cooking.
Mortgage Lifter tomatoes are indeterminate, meaning they continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season. They are prized by gardeners and tomato enthusiasts for their exceptional taste, historical significance, and impressive size.
