Boysenberry

In the late 1920’s George Darrow heard of a redish purple berry that had grown at a northern California farm of a man named Rudolph Boysen. With the help of Walter Knott they found the berry and they transplanted the vines at Mr Knott’s farm which had a small restaurant and named the new berries Boysenberries. The berries prospered and the farm is the well known Knott’s Berry Farm.
