White Blackberry! It 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".
Snow-white berries are translucent, milky-white in color but have all the flavor of a “normal” blackberry. The drupelets look like tiny pearls and are simply beautiful little fruits. Berries stay whiter than other similar varieties as berries ripen, and with much better flavor.

6702 Rubus idaeus x occidentalis - Nantahala Primocane Raspberry

Large shrub 5-10 ft Full sun Shade Semi-shade Regular water Pink flowers White/off-white flowers Deciduous Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Edible Thorny or spiny

This late ripening primocane variety produces loads of lush red raspberries, excellent flavor. Everbearing red raspberries, also called primocane raspberries, are able to grow flowers during the first year. These varieties produce fruit at the tips of the primocanes. During the second year, they can produce a summer crop on the lower part of the same canes. In a class by itself, Nantahala ripens slightly later than standard everbearing varieties and is well worth the wait. It delivers two great crops of large berries that rate consistently firmer, more flavorful, more attractive and with overall higher quality than others. The beautiful, red fruit is ideal fresh off the vine, baked into pies, processed into jams and syrups, or frozen.
Grows 2-5' tall, depending on location. Full to part sun. Hardy to Zone 6.

Rubus sanctus - Burning Bush of the Bible

Click to see full-size image

5802 Rubus sanctus - Burning Bush of the Bible

Large shrub 5-10 ft Groundcover and low-growing 2ft Full sun Moderate water Pink flowers Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Edible Thorny or spiny

We obtained this plant in 2016, it was grown from the seeds brought to us from the plant in St. Catherines Monastery.
Holy Bramble, Burning Bush of the Bible. Rubus sanctus is a symbol of God revealing himself to man. An instance of it can be found at the Chapel of the Burning Bush on Mount Sinai, where it is revered as the original burning bush of the Bible. This longevity and location lead to its Latin name. Derivation of the botanical name: Rubus - latin name for Blackberry, Raspberry; Sanctus - sacred.
Rubus sanctus is a very long lived fruit shrub. The plant has no central stem; instead it produces long thin branches which can reach 5-6 feet in length. Branches have spiked thorns that bend downward. The flowers vary from pale to dark pink, followed by blackberries.
The nature of the burning bush is a source of debate among botanists and Biblical scholars. Some believe that the burning bush was not a bush, but a figurative representation of a supernatural phenomenon. Others contend that God spoke through a natural bush. In the entire Old Testament nowhere does God reveal more about himself to one man than in the passage of the burning bush. In fact, this passage is sometimes called the Mosaic revelation of God about himself. The St. Catherines Monastery spiritual heart is the Chapel of the Burning Bush, an unassuming structure of tremendous religious significance. According the oldest monastic tradition, this chapel sits atop the roots of the same Biblical bush "that burned with fire, and was not consumed" (Exodus 3:2) when God spoke to Moses for the first time. Today, it is very large in size, and many monks and scholars agree that the bush's presence is the very reason St. Catherine's Monastery developed in the first place.

Rubus x aboriginum x loganobaccus - Boysenberry

6703 Rubus x aboriginum x loganobaccus - Boysenberry

Large shrub 5-10 ft Full sun Shade Semi-shade Regular water Pink flowers White/off-white flowers Deciduous Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Edible Thorny or spiny

The Boysenberry is a cross among the European raspberry (Rubus idaeus), European blackberry (Rubus fruticosus), American dewberry (Rubus aboriginum), and loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus). A prolific producer of sweet-tart, large, reddish black fruit in midsummer on second year growth. The beautiful bountiful berries sit against dark green foliage that make this plant not only useful but beautiful. Plant them as a hedge or border or even in a container for decadent berries at your fingertips. This vine is self fertile and grows and matures very quickly. You can expect fruit as early as its second season. Small white flowers precede the fruit on nearly thornless canes in spring. The fruit can be eaten fresh, cooked, or frozen.
The plant traced back to grower Rudolph Boysen, who obtained the dewberry-loganberry parent from the farm of John Lubben. Boysenberries grow on low, trailing plants and are characterized by their soft texture, thin skins, and sweet-tart flavor. Very large, fragile, purple berry with few seeds. Although this variety is named thorn-less, there are truly no thorn-less Boysenberries. However, this variety has far fewer and smaller thorns than other varieties. USDA zones 5-10.
