Tips

history
Transliteration of 'boysenberry', named after horticulturist Rudolph Boysen, who created the cross in 1920s California. Walter Knott popularized it commercially at Knott's Berry Farm — that's literally where the theme park's name comes from.
memory
(bōsēn) = 'Boysen' transliteration, (méi) = berry. Same in 草莓 (cǎoméi, strawberry) and 蓝莓 (lánméi, blueberry).
