Himalaya Berry. The Himalaya berry is one of the evergreen blackberries of Asiatic origin. It is reported to have been introduced by Luther Burbank in the early nineties, the seed being received by him from an English traveler who secured it from the Himalaya Mountains. The vine is heavily thorned and a vigorous grower, making from 20 to 40 or 50 feet in a season and continues to grow until cold weather. It is of a trailing habit of growth, like the dewberry. The fruit begins to ripen in midsummer and gradually matures during a long period. As fruited in the Middle West, the berries are medium or below medium in size, decidedly tart unless dead ripe and with a more tender core than is usually found in the blackberry. The quality of the fruit is fair though not delicate in flavor. The fruit is of firm texture and on the Pacific coast it is reported as being a good shipper. The Himalaya berry, like all of the evergreen blackberries, does not properly ripen its wood for winter and is not sufficiently hardy to be adapted for planting in the Upper Mississippi Valley and the other sections in which the winters are severe. Where covered with a heavy blanket of snow, the vines come through the winter in fair condition but in open winters they are completely killed back. The Himalaya berry has been widely planted in the last three or four years, but it has not as yet established itself as a commercial berry in competition with several of the best standard varieties of blackberries with which it would be compared.
