Luther Burbank’s Ties to California and Stark Bro’s

Luther Burbank

Luther Burbank, an innovator in methods of grafting and plant breeding, developed 800+ plant varieties, including fruits and ornamentals, in Santa Rosa, CA, from 1875. Struggling financially, his breakthrough came when Stark Bro’s funded his research, leading to iconic varieties like the Santa Rosa Plum and July Elberta Peach, thanks to the Stark family's support.
