- He developed a spineless cactus and the plumcot.
- Burbank's most successful strains and varieties included the Shasta daisy, the fire poppy, the "July Elberta" peach, the "Santa Rosa" plum, the "Flaming Gold" nectarine, the "Wickson" plum, the freestone peach, and the white blackberry.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Luther Burbank article was read about 55,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
