Hi everyone first time growing large tomatoes. I have one tomato that is 3 tomatoes in one on my mortgage lifter plant. Will my chances be good for this to happen again if I keep the seeds from it?

Well it really depends on the flower. Fused blossoms usually have exerted stigmas which makes it susceptible to cross pollination from other varieties. But still, save the seeds from it.

Ty everyone for your response very much appreciated. Bryan I had the plant right beside a big zac. Do you think that there might be a possibility of cross pollination between the two?

Their is always a chance if both plants were blooming at the same time and bees or bugs pollinated both of them. But tomatoes are often self pollinated.

Mortgage lifter has a history of producing mega blooms.

It does not produce at the quantity of Big Zac but few others do.
Mortgage lifters have been known to get into the five pound range so it's definitely worth growing again.
