Schroeder
Origin / History
Received from Russia under the name of Charlamoff, but the tree is of upright habit and the fruit very distinct from that variety. The name Schroeder was given by the Russian Nomenclature Commission in 1898. Hansen (1902) refers the reader to Charlamoff and the "Charlamoff group" and adds: "Recently it appears that more attention should be given this variety."
