These are rooted plants—not bare-root canes or bare-root plants. The original pots may be removed for shipping, so the plants may arrive without their growing pots.
With suitable growing conditions and care, established plants may grow approximately 3–6 feet in a year. Actual growth varies according to climate, sunlight, watering, and plant establishment.
🌿 Growing and Care Tips
-
Sunlight: Choose a sunny location for healthy growth and fruit production.
-
Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil.
-
Watering: Keep the root zone consistently moist without allowing the plants to sit in waterlogged soil.
-
Cane development: Cascade Delight produces fruit on second-year canes. Allow the canes time to establish and follow appropriate pruning practices.
-
Seasonal planting: Young starter plants need time to establish before cold weather. The seller advises against ordering starter plants in fall or winter unless you have a greenhouse or live in USDA zone 9 or warmer.
