This English word was coined into the language in 1935, thanks to a Northern California botanist who developed the fruit on his farm by crossing a European Raspberry, a Loganberry, and a Common Blackberry. His name was Rudolph Boysen. The fruit is named in his honor.

But wait! -There's more... The story reallybegan back in the early 1920s when a certain George M. Darrow of the USDA started tracking down reports of a large, reddish-purple berry. He just happened to solicit the aid of one Walter Knott, who was well-known in Southern California as an expert on berries. Together, they found the former Boysen farm and successfully transplanted several frail surviving vines to Knott's farm, now known as... Knott's Berry Farm.
