Fall Gold Raspberry
Best dual-harvest berry bush for home gardeners seeking sweet yellow fruit.
Discover the rare Fall Gold Raspberry, a self-fertile variety known for its deliciously sweet, warm yellow berries that rival the flavor of traditional red raspberries. This unique plant offers a dual harvest, producing a crop in late summer to fall, followed by a second yield the following spring on the same canes. As a deciduous plant, it brightens the garden with its unique color. It is excellent for fresh eating, preserves, or pies. Mature plants typically reach 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, thriving best in full sun conditions. Proper care involves deep, regular watering and pruning older canes after fruiting.
