Subject: Re: [NAFEX] Liveland Raspberry
Apple
Doug we had some trees in the Okanagan if I remember right they are
an old Russian variety. We used to get a some for the Apple fair at the
LOWLAND RASPBERRY before 1870
"Also known as Liveland Raspberry and
Livland Raspberry. Lowland Raspberry is a literal translation of the German
name Lievlander Himbeerapfel. A Russian apple of great hardiness, it was
imported from Russia by A. G. Tuttle of Barraboo, Wisconsin and was recorded before
1870. Medium in size, it is striped red on a cream background and has tender,
white flesh tinged with red. It is fine-grained and the flavor has a hint of
sweetness. Trees grow upright and compact and are genetically small even when
grown on their own roots. Biennial bearing, the fruit maintains its quality on
and off the tree better than most other apple of the same season. The bark is
yellowish and the dull, coarse leaves are rounded or oval and closely
serrated. The seeds are remarkably small. Lowland Raspberry ripens in
July"
They do ripen early, they have
some nice flavors but they don't keep very well. The description of the
variety fits quite well. I pruned an old tree in the Okanagan for about 10
years and there were several trees in some of the old orchards.

If
you will forgive me some futile nitpicking, I think that
"Livland
Raspberry" is probably the most nearly correct name. Livland (I
think
from the Swedish and German) or Livonia was a territory of
variable
extent but centered around what we now know as southern Estonia
and
northern Latvia, ruled by a crusading German knightly order, then
by
Sweden, then from about 1710 by Russia.
Livland Raspberry has
been used to some extent in breeding in Canada and
the northern U.S.
states.
