Why Start with Raspberry Rootstock?

Starting raspberries from roots is an economical way to establish a raspberry patch. Rootstock can produce more canes than purchasing individual bare root raspberry canes, at a lower cost.

The seller recommends rootstock as a preferred method for raspberry growers because of its lower cost and ease of planting.

One ounce of roots is stated to plant four containers. This 4-ounce listing provides four times that amount.

Starting Your Raspberry Roots

If your garden soil is too wet or cold to work, you can start the roots in containers before moving them to their permanent planting location.

• Plant roots approximately 1/4 inch deep in containers.

• Place containers in a sunny, warm location, such as a greenhouse or sunny window.

• Water regularly and avoid allowing the roots to dry out.

• The seller reports that container-grown roots are usually ready for permanent planting in approximately 3–4 months.

You can also plant directly in the garden when soil and weather conditions are suitable.

Detailed planting, pruning, and care instructions are included with your roots.

Growth and Harvest

Double Gold is self-fertile and can produce one or two crops per year, depending on plant management.

The seller reports that 8 ounces of rootstock can produce approximately 24–36 new canes during the first year. This is an 8-ounce production estimate, not a guaranteed yield for this 4-ounce listing.

With proper care, new canes can grow over 3 feet tall during their first year. Fruit production and timing depend on establishment, growing conditions, and plant management.

The variety is suitable for home gardens, U-Pick operations, farmers markets, and local commercial sales.
