I have read many hearsays and tales of the history of Bababerry. Whether they are true or not…the below story is true as far as the patent was concerned at the time of publication in 1981 until its expiration.
Gertrude Millikan whom patented Bababerry in 1981 claims that it was found growing on her property
“The new variety is of unknown parentage. The original raspberry plant of the new variety was discovered in cultivation on my property in Idyllwild, Calif.”
I named the new variety “Bababerry” - Gertrude Millikan
Gertrude (Baba) Millikan.
I got my plants from Bay Laurel… supposedly hardy to 0F… nice plants.
