Wiki Draft

Rambour Reinette is a Russian apple cultivar described in a 1902 South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin. The fruit is large, greenish yellow, and very irregular and oblate, with minute white areolar dots. The flesh is white with greenish veining, very juicy, subacid, and rated good. [S1]

The bulletin gives its origin as Russia and lists it as No. 502. It also gives Rambour Queen as a synonym and explains Reinette as meaning Queen. The available source gives no breeder, nursery, or release date. [S1]

The fruit description includes a regular medium cavity, a wide irregular basin that is folded and corrugated, and a large closed calyx with convergent segments. A diagnostic list elsewhere in the same bulletin places Rambour Reinette among white-fleshed apples with green veining and identifies the form as oblate. [S1]

Its season is fall. The source does not state storage behavior or specific culinary use. Its juicy, subacid, good flesh suggests it was valued as an eating or use apple, not only as an identification specimen. [S1]

The tree is very upright, with large leaves. The source gives no productivity, disease, pruning, or bearing notes. [S1]

No direct hardiness zone is stated. Its inclusion in a South Dakota bulletin on northwestern and hard-to-grow apples gives regional trial context, but it should not be treated as a direct zone rating. [S1]

No direct parentage, descendants, or species-level lineage are reported. The source context places Rambour Reinette among cultivated apples, so it is best read here as a Malus domestica cultivar unless stronger taxonomy evidence is added later. [S1]
