Description
Botanical Name: Solanum lycopersicum
These tomato seeds grow a large, very meaty flavoursome fruit (up to 400g each). The Tomato (Beefsteak) Mortgage Lifter Heirloom variety was named by a 1930's farmer whose bumper crop of this variety enabled him to save his farm from repossession. Who would have thought tomato seeds or any vegetable seeds could bring about such a great outcome. Fabulous all-round tomato, developed from Italian, German and English 'beefsteak' varieties. Staking is required for this variety. High yields of up to 16kg per plant.
Heirloom Garden: From the golden days of gardening, heirloom seeds have been saved and treasured through the generations.
