Detailed planting, growing, and care instructions are included with your order. You can also contact the seller if you have additional questions.

🍰 Enjoy Homegrown Red Raspberries

Use Cascade Harvest raspberries for fresh eating, pies, cakes, smoothies, jams, freezing, and other homemade treats. Their firm texture may also appeal to growers interested in selling fresh fruit.

Fruit production depends on plant maturity, establishment, local climate, winter chilling, and ongoing care. A harvest 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 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.
