it may have been Destor's Amish originally on Larry's site--I think he may have
added the .... Amish beefsteak later. I might write them a quick note to
tell them how great it was (and I'll ask what the final name is!). Darlene
Darlene. thanks for offering to contact Larry and for all the reasons I noted above as well as the single word you got on your seeds I do hope the right name is just Dester.

In the blurb for any variety one usually writes the history, in this case the Amish origin, etc.

I had three varieties from Portugal from the same source so really had to express them with the type of fruits, and those were:

Kukla's Portuguese Beefsteak
Kukla's Portuguese Heart
Kukla's Portuguese Paste

....... as offered in my Jan 2012 seed offer here as well as SSE listed, but I doubt I'll list them either place for 2013.

I know you'll let us know when you know what the name should really be, and hopefully the word will get out before folks start calling this variety by different names which will just cause yet more confusion.
