🍰 Enjoy Homegrown Red Raspberries

Use your Cascade Harvest berries for fresh eating, pies, cakes, smoothies, jams, freezing, and other homemade treats. The firm fruit may also be appealing for growers interested in selling fresh berries.

Fruit production depends on plant maturity, establishment, local climate, winter chilling, and ongoing care. A harvest the following spring cannot be guaranteed for every plant or growing location.

❄️ Important Seasonal Ordering Information

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

Six- to eight-month-old starter plants need enough 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.

Please note that Cascade Harvest is suggested for zones 6–8 and 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 ordering.
