Why Start with Raspberry Rootstock?

Starting raspberries from roots is an economical way to establish a raspberry planting. Rootstock can produce multiple canes, offering a lower-cost alternative to purchasing individual established bare root canes.

The seller recommends this method for its lower cost and ease of planting.

One ounce of roots is stated to plant four containers.

For comparison, the seller reports that 8 ounces of rootstock can produce approximately 24–36 new canes during the first year. This is an 8-ounce production estimate, not a guaranteed yield for this 1-ounce listing.

With proper care, the new canes can grow over 3 feet tall during their first year. Plants may bear fruit according to their establishment and growing conditions.

Starting Your Raspberry Roots

If your garden soil is too wet or cold to work, you can start the roots in containers before moving them to their permanent planting location.

• Plant roots approximately 1/4 inch deep in containers.

• Place containers in a sunny, warm location, such as a greenhouse or sunny window.

• Water regularly and avoid allowing the roots to dry out.

• The seller reports that container-grown roots are usually ready for permanent planting in approximately 3–4 months.

You can also start them directly in the garden when conditions are suitable.

Detailed planting, pruning, and care instructions are included with your roots.

Growing and Harvesting

Double Gold is self-fertile and can produce one or two crops per year, depending on plant management.

Its rose-gold champagne berries are medium-sized and conical, with excellent sweetness and flavor. The variety is suitable for home gardens, U-Pick operations, farmers markets, and local commercial sales.

With proper care, a raspberry planting can remain productive for many years. The seller notes that a well-maintained raspberry patch may last over 15 years.
