White blackberry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The white blackberry is an unusual white variety of blackberry developed by plant breeder Luther Burbank, also known as the "Iceberg white blackberry" or "snowbank berry", probably originating as a pun on the name "Burbank". Burbank tried out 65,000 unsuccessful crossbreeds [1] at his facility in Santa Rosa, California, before enjoying success in 1894.[2]
