Description
The "Mortgage Lifter" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a cultivar that's certainly worth its weight in gold, delivering large, beefsteak-style fruits that radiate a deep pink hue. Known for their smooth texture and rich, slightly sweet flavour, these tomatoes will undoubtedly elevate any dish, helping you lift your culinary game.
For a rewarding harvest, place the "Mortgage Lifter" in a premium quality potting mix if using containers, or integrate a high-grade soil conditioner for garden beds. Consistent watering during Bunuru (late summer) and feeding with a tomato-specific fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) will ensure these beauties thrive. Generally, they're ready to be plucked after about 85 days. Given their size and the bounty they bring, it's a good idea to stake these plants for added support. So, if you're looking for a tomato that'll pay dividends in taste and size, the "Mortgage Lifter" is a prime investment.
