Cherokee Purple plants get fairly large and the fruits are on the large
size. The plants are fairly productive, although not as productive as a
hybrid. I use the large size round tomato cages commonly available and
stake
them in place with tall stakes. During the heavy fruit setting part of the
season, the cages my start to lean, but don't fall over. Ocasionally, I'll
place a smaller cage or two next to the main large one for additional
support.

Brandywine will probably be approximately similar to Cherokee Purple in
terms of support requirements. I'm not familiar with Mortgage Lifter.
