Snowbank Blackberry

Rubus x

Another triumph for Luther Burbank! Snow white berries have the same flavor as "normal" blackberries but are translucent and milky-white in hue. The drupelets are exquisite small fruits that resemble tiny pearls. As they ripen, berries retain their white color and flavor better than other varieties of berries of a comparable size. Developed in 1916 as a better version of his first white blackberry, "Iceberg," by Luther Burbank.

A trailing-type, robust grower with good disease resistance. Ripens in late July. Self-pollinating. Unusually cold-tolerant for a blackberry.
