7 marca 1849 urodził się amerykański przyrodnik i ogrodnik Luther Burbank, który w ciągu 55 lat pracy wyhodował aż 800 gatunków i odmian roślin uprawnych.
Zawdzięczamy mu między innymi białą jeżynę, ziemniaki o brązowej skórce, bezkolcowego kaktusa, który może być wykorzystany jako pasza dla bydła, krzyżówkę śliwy i moreli, którą nazwał plumcot i wiele innych....
The field of botany has many great names and one of them is that of Luther Burbank. He is an America Botanist and horticulturist and just so happens to be one of the pioneers of agricultural science. Burbank was so brilliant that he managed to come up with an excess of 800 plant varieties and strains in all of his 55 years in the field. He came up with different fruit, grains, flowers, vegetables, and grass variations and also came up with a variety of cactus that didn’t have spines that is mostly used to feed cattle. He also came up with the “plumcot” which is what he got when he naturally crossed apricots and plums.
