🍓 Cascade Harvest Features

• Large red berries: Reported to be about twice the size of berries from older varieties.

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

• Firm fruit: Firmness can help with picking, handling, and short-term storage.

• Strong yield potential: Plants can be productive when growing conditions and care are suitable.

• Upright, vigorous canes: Growth habit can make pruning, picking, and trellising easier.

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

• Disease resistance: Resistant to Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus (RBDV) and moderately tolerant 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 fertile, well-drained soil.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist while plants establish, avoiding waterlogged conditions.

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

• Winter chilling: Approximately 600 hours of winter chilling are needed to set flower buds.

• Typical ripening season: July in the Pacific Northwest, depending on local climate and growing conditions.

Cascade Harvest is suggested for USDA Zones 6–8. Check local winter temperatures and chilling conditions before planting.

🍓 When Can You Expect Fruit?

These 1–2 year old plants may be closer to fruiting maturity than younger starter plants. However, harvest timing and quantity depend on cane maturity, establishment, climate, pruning, and care. A harvest the following spring or summer is not guaranteed.

📦 Shipping and Seasonal Notes

For fall or winter orders, young starter plants are generally not recommended unless the buyer has a greenhouse or suitable warm growing conditions. This listing is for older potted plants, but they still need appropriate conditions to establish before severe cold.
