Mortgage Lifter

95 days. Open Pollinated. This classic heirloom variety originated a hundred years ago in West Virginia. Tall, vigorous plants produce loads of red, beefsteak tomatoes that can reach 1-2 pounds each! Meaty, sweet, flavorful fruit can vary in shape and size. It is said that, after crossing tomato breeds for several years, a farmer facing bankruptcy was able to pay off his mortgage selling these plants in 1940.
