A few months ago I happened on the Luther Burbank farm in Sebastopol quite by accident. I'd just bought somn wonderberry seeds and my wife recognized the name as we were driving p[ast. There's a huge field full of odd hybrids, some successful, some not. I guess it's taken a long time to catalog what he was doing there.
Part of the land is given over to a retirement complex.
He seems to have been a very interesting human being, not just an interesting horticulturalist
