Still at the beginning of the 20th century the variety was distributed in whole Germany and in bordering countries. In the following decades the variety disappeared in cultivation and was neither in the tree nurseries nor in the assortments of fruit-growing institutes available. Therefore it had to be categorized as missing.go to weblink

    Digital maps for sustainable mountain forests

    The "Forest Information System Northern Alps" (WINALP) has adopted as its goal the generation of scientific principles for the sustainable management of, and preventative measures against, natural hazards to the environs of mountain forests. All information for this database are prepared in a user-friendly manner in special digital maps and handbooks, in order to be made available for forest-development planners, and forest workers, e.g. for either site-specific forest management, nurturing and maintenance of mountain forests, or for prognoses regarding the repercussions of climate change.go to weblink
