🍰 Enjoy Homegrown Red Raspberries

Cascade Harvest berries can be enjoyed fresh or used in pies, cakes, smoothies, jams, and frozen treats. Their firm texture may also appeal to growers interested in selling fresh fruit.

Actual 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 the season and your 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.

Cascade Harvest is suggested for USDA 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.
