I noted the following in Neil Collins’ Trees of Antiquity newsletter today:
Recently, Marissa Fishman bestowed upon us the honor of propagating a handful of the late Ram Fishman’s (of Greenmantle Nursery) coveted apple varieties. The foundation of Ram’s fruit collection rests on the old homestead varieties of the bio-region of Ettersburg, California, and features the legacy of Albert Etter (1872-1950) the renowned plant breeder whose private experiment station was located a few miles from his nursery. It is a privilege to help Marissa keep Ram’s passion alive. We have a very limited amount of these rare apple varieties this year, but we will graft more next year, 2024: Atalanta, Christmas Pink, Eden, Grenadine, Jade, Katherine, Muscat de Venus, Pink Parfait, Rubiyat, Vixen.
I consider this excellent news, as I had been concerned that we’d no longer have a reliable source for these varieties now that Ram has passed. I’m no longer worried; I don’t think that Ms. Fishman could have chosen a better partner to keep them available than TOA.
They don’t have a specific category on their website yet, but for now, you can see a list of them here.
