Footnote to my question about Mortgage lifter Tomato plants:

It turns out there are multiple cultivars of Mortgage Lifter tomato plants. All I know about mine is that the ones I bought at Menards are the generic Menards 6-pack plants. The ones from seed are from Livingston.

What was the question again on the Mortgage Lifters? I’ve only grown them once as a trial.

Was it the height of the plant? I would imagine it needs to be BIG as it’s supporting those HUGE tomatoes.

Average Height of Mortgage Lifter Tomatoes

On average, Mortgage Lifter tomato plants can grow to a height of 6 to 8 feet. However, their actual size can vary depending on several factors, including:

Growing Conditions

Sunlight: Mortgage Lifter tomatoes thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter is essential for optimal growth.

Water: Consistent watering is crucial, especially during hot and dry periods.

Temperature: They prefer warm temperatures between 70-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
