Albert Etter

And now it's, you know, 50 years old and producing.

We have chestnuts and all kinds of other things that came from Albert Etter's work so many years ago.

And it really feels connecting us to the land and the continuity of his work.

So we're pretty proud of the Etter line of fruit that we've been able to develop and perpetuate.

And then we go on to some other apple varieties that were developed in the 1940s in California.

A man named Albert Etter was doing some breeding of apples and we came up with the pink pearl apple, which is one of the more widely found pink flesh or red flesh apple varieties.

They tend to be more on the pinker side, I say, than red.

This apple is actually yellow on the outside, not red, so it's even more of a contrast to see that yellow skin and then see the pink on the inside.

This is called the Wixson Crab Apple.

And this was introduced commercially in 1944 by Etter.

Was it Albert Etter? I can't remember.

The guy who did the Pink Pearl we talked about a few months ago.

And a Wixson Crab Apple is... size of an avocado pit.
