Rambo apple
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are two apple varieties known as Rambo.
The Summer Rambo is thought to be of French origin and the original spelling was Rambour. The Summer Rambo, or Rambour d'Ete, is said to have originated in the village of Rambure in Picardy. [1]
The Winter Rambo was introduced to the American colony of New Sweden in 1637 by Peter Gunnarsson Rambo, a Swedish immigrant. It is not clear whether Rambo brought apple seeds or seedlings with him from Sweden. [2] The greenish yellow apple with red stripes ripens in mid-summer, and is good for pies, jelly, and drying. The name Rambo is derived from Peter Gunnarsson's Swedish home on Ramberget (originally "Ramnberget", meaning "Raven Mountain") in what today is part of Gothenburg, in Gunnarsson's time a rural area. The suffix "bo" means "home" in Swedish.
