History
- A gold fruited sport of Wisconsin 55, found in 1953-54 and maitained for a half a century by Dr. Raabe, a professor emeritus at UC Berkeley. Surprisingly for Dr. Raabe, one of his students and SSE member, Alison Stewart (CA ST A), expressed an interest in the variety and asked for seeds. Alison grew it out and shared the seed with several GardenWeb members in the early-mid 2000s.
- Introduced in SSE 2007 Yearbook by Martin Longseth (WI LO M), Alison Stewart (CA ST A), and Bill Jeffers (IN JE B).
