#OTD Rudolph Boysen, #Plant #Hybridizer, died.
On one #June #morning he found a new #Fruit on his #Plants - the #Boysenberry (a cross between the #Loganberry, #Raspberry, & #Blackberry).
The grower, Walter Knott, acquired the #Berry & named the plant in Rudy's honor. #Knott made an empire for himself with the proceeds - establishing Knott's Berry #Farm.
Rudolph Boysen never earned a dime from the Boysenberry.
