🍰 Enjoy Your Own Red Raspberry Harvest

Cascade Harvest raspberries are great for fresh eating, pies, desserts, jams, freezing, and other homemade recipes. Their firm texture may also make them appealing for growers interested in selling fresh fruit.

Raspberry production depends on plant maturity, planting time, local climate, winter chilling, and ongoing care. Fruit the following spring is not guaranteed for every plant or growing location.

❄️ Important Seasonal Ordering Information

Please consider the season and your growing conditions before ordering young starter plants.

Six- to eight-month-old starter plants need adequate time and suitable conditions to establish before cold weather. The seller does not recommend ordering starter plants in fall or winter unless you have a greenhouse or live in USDA zone 9 or warmer.

Although zone 9 may offer a longer growing season, Cascade Harvest requires approximately 600 winter chilling hours to set flower buds. Some zone 9 locations may not receive enough chilling, so check your local climate before purchasing.

📦 Shipping and Plant Expectations

You will receive two live potted starter plants, not seeds or bare-root plants. Plant height, foliage, and appearance may vary depending on the season and growing conditions. Plants may be adjusted for safe packaging and shipping.
