🍓 Cascade Harvest Raspberry Features

• Large red berries: The berries have been reported to be about twice the size of those from older varieties.

• Firm fruit: Firm berries may be helpful for picking, handling, and short-term storage.

• Very good flavor: Enjoy fresh raspberries or use them in desserts, pies, jams, sauces, and freezing.

• Strong yield potential: A productive variety when growing conditions and care are suitable.

• Upright canes: Erect, vigorous growth can make pruning, picking, and trellising easier.

• Fewer thorns higher on the canes: Small thorns are more common near the cane bases, while the canes are nearly thornless above approximately 3 feet.

• Disease resistance: Cascade Harvest has resistance to Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus (RBDV) and moderate tolerance to Phytophthora root rot. Resistance does not mean complete immunity.

🌿 Growing Information

• Sunlight: Choose a sunny location for best growth and fruit production.

• Soil: Use well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture.

• Watering: Water regularly during establishment and dry periods, avoiding waterlogged soil.

• Support: A trellis can help manage the upright canes and make harvesting easier.

• Winter chilling: This variety requires approximately 600 hours of winter chilling to set flower buds.

• Typical ripening season: July in the Pacific Northwest, although timing varies with climate and local growing conditions.

Cascade Harvest is suggested for USDA Zones 6–8. Consider your local winter temperatures and chilling conditions before ordering, particularly if you garden in a warmer climate.

🍓 When Will It Produce Fruit?

A 1–2 year old plant may be closer to fruiting maturity than a younger starter plant, but the timing and amount of fruit depend on cane maturity, establishment, climate, pruning, and care. A harvest the following spring or summer cannot be guaranteed.

📦 Seasonal Shipping and Plant Care

Plants are living products and may be trimmed or prepared for safe shipping. Appearance and cane length can vary by season.

The original shipping notice listed April 15, 2026, which is now past. Please confirm current plant availability and the expected dispatch date with the seller before purchasing.

Important seasonal note: For fall or winter orders, the seller does not recommend young starter plants unless the buyer has a greenhouse or suitable warm growing conditions. The 1–2 year old potted plant in this listing is a different option, but it still needs appropriate time and conditions to establish before severe cold.

🌱 Planting Support Included

Your plant comes with detailed planting, growing, and care instructions. Contact the seller if you have questions about planting or ongoing care.
