SCIONWOOD
Albert Etter was an eccentric, self-taught fruit breeder who was obsessed with developing red-fleshed apples. After his death in 1950, the experimental orchard at his abandoned homestead in the mountains of northwestern California slowly went back to wilderness. Such was the state of affairs when Ram Fishman of Greenmantle Nursery began exploring later in the 1970s. Among the numerous red-fleshed varieties he encountered, seven were selected as superior, and subsequently dubbed as the Rosetta™ series. Within this group Rubaiyat® stands out like a Shiny Christmas ornament. Ruby-red from the outside to the core, this delightfully aromatic apple’s flavour is intensely sweet with a tart, cherry-berry edge to it. Crisp, yet melting and juicy, Rubaiyat is fine for dessert and funky for culinary use.
