If you are still looking , "one green world" has the snowbank blackberry also white and from Luther Burbank in stock,they are an online nursery and ship plants. They generally sell nice plants which survive well, though best I find in pots rather than bareroot canes.<br />Happy Gardening<br />MimiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-67871935605397140282018-01-27T15:09:18.449-06:002018-01-27T15:09:18.449-06:00I don't know if you founf it yet or not but

IL those plants are available but are quite pricey. they are very possibly the original John Orange white berries, (Chances are that this is Orange's 'Orange's Crystal' aka 'Crystal White', 'Colonel Wilder') of circa 1850-60.<br /><br />contact me betauserz@gmail.comBeta userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345725174491401281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-57224637604582032852013-02-04T16:56:52.289-06:002013-02-04T16:56:52.289-06:00If anyone finds out where to buy this I would sinc...If anyone finds out where to buy this I would sincerely appreciate an email. My grandparents had one in the back yard when I was a child, but it must have not made it at some point. I have always wanted to find one for my own garden. Granted I don't know of it was the one mentioned above or just a weird fluke that found its way here. I have been searching the Internet for hours on many separate occasions only to find that it's available to buy in California but not for mail order and being that I am all the way across the country with no prospect of going to Santa Rosa anytime soon anything on this would be helpful.

Anyway, I have ordered it from my local bookstore and it is arriving next week. I am excited. <br /><br />I read a bio of Luther Burbank the year I started gardening -- 1971. I had never gardened a day in my life, but practically the minute I got married, well, within a few months, I got the bug, and spent the summer reading everything I could find about gardening in the local library. That one must be out of print. There was also an interesting bio of W. Atlee Burpee by the same author, which is probably also out of print.<br /><br />To be honest, I found the 'mystical' part of Burbank's methods to be the most interesting part. Being a person who talks to plants (and listens to what they say back) I am fascinated by this. Does it talk about how, during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, his greenhouse had only a broken pane or two, while the rest of Santa Rosa was badly damaged? I think I remember reading that.<br /><br />Again, thanks for the post. And good luck in your quest for a white blackberry. There must be some out here somewhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239798951473493987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-47449744750645316412010-10-14T16:20:58.526-05:002010-10-14T16:20:58.526-05:00Thanks for the review!

I understand that sometimes "better" varieties have taken their places, but it still seems sad. I hope you find the whiteberry!Elizabeth Barrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09958071577234094405noreply@blogger.com
