The Rambo is one of the most popular autumn or early winter fruits. It
is a highly valuable apple for the table or kitchen, and the tree
thrives well on light, sandy soil, being a native of the banks of the
Delaware. The tree is of a vigorous, rather spreading habit, quite
productive. Fruit of medium size, flat, smooth, yellowish white in the
shade, streaked and marbled with pale yellow and red in the sun, and
speckled with large rough dots. Stalk long, rather slender, curved to
one side, and deeply planted in a smooth, funnel-like cavity. Calyx
closed, set in a broad basin, which is slightly plaited around it. Flesh
greenish white, very tender, rich, mild subacid. Very good. October to
December. There is claimed to be distinct or subvariety of this, called
Red Rambo, the fruit of which is more red; otherwise there is no
perceptible difference.
