Double Gold Raspberry Shrub

Unique blushed color is outstanding in fruit displays. Fruit color ranges from peachy gold to vibrant coral. Highly productive plants bear crops of conical-shaped raspberries with a tender, juicy texture and excellent flavor – easily a fan favorite! Ideal choice for variety in “u-pick” stands and farmer’s markets. Introduced in 2012 by Cornell University. Named for its “double” bearing nature: Fall-bearing (everbearing) primocane with a summer crop. Floricane berries ripen in July. Primocane berries ripen in September through frost. Disease-resistant to phytophthora root rot and common leaf issues. Cold-hardy. Self-pollinating. Keep raspberry bushes evenly watered during the summer. Check regularly and water whenever the top inch of soil is dry. Drip irrigation or a soaker hose system is ideal for consistent moisture. Do not water during the winter, though, as that could cause the roots to rot.
