The left one may be en ramo, even more complicated since Catalan Spanish is not the same as non Catalan.
No,I have no seeds for en-ramo, but hope to in the near future.
I said above that I would transmit the info that I llex sent me to those who actually grew Ribera,which I did last night.
Ribera is still a multiflora but looks nothing like what the old man is holding. I had several seed producers who were growing Ribera and the description originally were large beefsteaks,no longer true.
So it was important for me to get back to those who were doing seed production since 2/3 are SSE listed members and have a deadline to meet for the 2017 Yearbook.

I took Gerardo's post to mean that the smaller of the 2 in the pic ("
100 in his left hand...") is 100 en ramo or whatever, and that what's in the man's right hand, Gerardo did not get any ribbing like those pictured ("
Right hand, I did not get any of those ribs.")
Which brings us back to the question of the year: What is the variety the man is holding in his right hand? Is it a secret? an anomaly?
