🍇 Why Grow Double Gold Raspberries?

• Distinctive berry color: Produces rose-gold, champagne-colored raspberries that are darker than many other yellow raspberry varieties.

• Excellent flavor: Known for its sweet taste and rich flavor.

• Medium-sized berries: Fruit is typically medium in size with a conical shape.

• Flexible cropping: May produce one or two crops per year, depending on how the plant is managed and local growing conditions.

• Vigorous growth: A strong-growing variety with potential to develop into a productive plant.

• Disease resistance: Shows resistance to Phytophthora root rot and common leaf diseases; resistance does not mean complete immunity.

🌿 Growing Information

• Watering: Keep the potting mix evenly moist without leaving the roots waterlogged.

• Planting: Transplant into a suitable garden bed or larger container when conditions are appropriate.

Double Gold is suitable for gardeners who want an unusual golden-colored raspberry with excellent sweetness and versatility in the garden.

🍇 When Will It Produce Fruit?

Double Gold can produce fruit on an established plant, but a 6–8 month starter plant may need additional time to mature and establish before fruiting. The timing and amount of fruit depend on plant development, pruning, climate, and care. A first-year harvest is possible under favorable conditions but is not guaranteed.

📦 Seasonal Shipping and Plant Care

This is a fully rooted, live potted starter plant. Plant size and appearance may vary with the season.

Fall and winter ordering note: The seller does not recommend ordering young starter plants during fall or winter unless you have a greenhouse or suitable warm growing conditions, such as an appropriate Zone 9 or warmer location. Starter plants need sufficient time to establish before cold weather. USDA Zone 9 alone does not guarantee suitable conditions for every raspberry variety, so consider your local climate.

Please confirm current availability and the expected dispatch date with the seller before ordering.
