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]
