There are a few differing stories about who bred the original mortgage lifter, if it was \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWillam Estler of Barboursville, West Virginia or \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eM.C. \"Radiator Charlie\" Byles in Logan, West Virginia. Either way, the tomato is a beefsteak variety that can weigh up to 2 pounds and it was given its unique name because it was said you can pay your mortgage selling the large fruits \u0026amp; seedlings of the variety. If you are hoping to grow mostly large tomatoes in your South Florida garden beware; over the years we've learned that the smaller varieties do better here, especially in gardens. Make sure you balance out your varieties with some small and some large fruit for the best yield. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little River Cooperative","offers":[{"title":"4\" potted plant","offer_id":42664982970450,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 gal potted plant","offer_id":42664983003218,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 gal potted plant","offer_id":42664983035986,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/4461\/products\/ScreenShot2022-09-29at5.02.30PM.png?v=1664485434","url":"https:\/\/littlerivernursery.co\/products\/mortgage-lifter-tomato","provider":"Little River Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
