Overview
Burbank, sometimes sold as Burbank Slicing, was developed by Luther Burbank around 1915. The stocky bushes stand on their own without trellising and carry deep-red, 3-inch fruit weighing 4 to 6 ounces in the main season. It is reported to do well in drier climates, which fits its West Coast origins. A convenient variety for gardeners who do not want to stake and who garden in dry summer areas.
