I received seeds for the variety Debbie from Joe Bratka in 1992 and listed it in the 1994 SSE Yearbook and it's also one of the varieties in my tomato book and seeds are sold by Sandhill Preservation. Origin of this variety is Poland.

It's indet, RL, maybe 75-85 days, reddish beefsteak fruits with orangy shoulders, some fruits may have some ribbed shoulders, from roughly a half to one pound, very good flavor.

Thanks Carolyn, so the flavor is very good how about production?

I haven't grown it in quite a few years so had to go back to my book to see what I wrote about yield and I'd written moderate to high which is good for an indeterminate.

But if truth be told there are quite a few other large red beefsteaks that I've grown since varieties had to be chosen for my book and Neves Azorean Red would be way up there along with Chapman, and Red Penna is already in the book.Also Rostova if you had access to true seed which is a problem these days.

I also like Russian Bogatyr and some other newer ones but you'll never know how you like Debbie until you've grown it.
