Rambo Apple
Peter Kalm, a Swede who traveled in North America between 1748 and 1751, wrote in his diary about his interview with Mr. Peter Rambo, grandson of Peter Gunnarsson Rambo. Peter Rambo, the younger, told him that his grandfather "had brought apple seeds and several other tree and garden seeds with him in a box." The first Rambo apple tree may have been produced from one of these seeds. William Coxe's A View of the Cultivation of Fruit Trees, and the Management of Orchards and Cider, published in 1817 indicates that the Rambo was much cultivated in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey and took "its name from the families by whom it was introduced into notice." The Rambo is confused with but is not closely related to the Summer Rambo. Because of the confusion, the Rambo has also been called the Winter Rambo.
