Narrative
This cultivar was first described in 1893 as 'Hybrid Berry V.C. 18,234. The next year, 1894, he called it a blackberry-raspberry hybrid and named it 'Humbolt'. In 1909 it was sold to John Lewis Childs, who rechristened it 'Phenomenal', the name it bore ever afterwards. A newspaper clipping in Burbank's scrapbook states that it was introduced by the California Carnation Company of Loomis, California as one of Burbank's "New Offerings for 1905". It is a second-generation hybrid from crossing the California wild dewberry with the 'Cuthbert' raspberry and was regarded by Burbank as a new species. It bears a marked resemblance to the 'Loganberry', but is considered by growers as superior to that variety. 'Phenomenal' is still found in the markets of California - W. L. Howard, 1945 ----------- The Phenomenal berry, sometimes known as 'Burbank's Logan', was selected by Luther Burbank in California from the second generation of a cross between 'Aughinbaugh' blackberry and 'Cuthbert' raspberry. It was introduced in 1905 and reached England about 1910. Although it is similar to the 'Loganberry', its fruit are larger, slightly lighter in color and its advocates considered it sweeter, richer, and more distinctive in flavor. But it did not compete successfully with 'Loganberry' in commerce. in a trial in East Malling from 1936 to 1939 it was inferior to the 'Loganberry' for yield but superior to it for fruit size and resistance to cane spot. There was no difference between the two forms in canning quality, though the larger size and better appearance of the 'Phenomenal' berries made them more suitable for some purposes. Like the 'Loganberry', the 'Phenomenal' is a hexaploid. Its chromosome behavior at meiosis is essentially regular, usually with 21 bivalents. Jennings 1988.
