Why Grow Double Gold Raspberries?

Distinctive golden berries: Double Gold produces attractive rose-gold champagne-colored fruit, often darker than other yellow raspberry varieties.

Sweet, excellent flavor: The berries are known for their delicious sweetness. In the seller’s nursery taste tests, they were preferred over other yellow varieties.

Potential for one or two crops: Depending on pruning, plant management, climate, and growing conditions, Double Gold may produce one or two crops per year.

Vigorous growth: These fully rooted starter plants can grow quickly under suitable conditions. With good care, plants may reach several feet in height during a growing season.

Resistance to certain diseases: Double Gold shows resistance to Phytophthora root rot and some common leaf diseases. Resistance does not mean complete immunity, so good drainage and proper plant care are still important.

Self-fertile plants: Double Gold can produce fruit without a second raspberry variety for pollination, although weather and growing conditions can influence fruit set.

Planting and Care Instructions

• Sunlight: Choose a sunny location for healthy growth and fruit production.

• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist without allowing the roots to sit in waterlogged soil.

• Spacing: Allow enough room for mature growth, airflow, and harvesting.

• Pruning: Follow a pruning system suited to your local climate and preferred cropping schedule.

• Seasonal protection: Protect young plants from severe weather and follow care guidance for your growing zone.

Detailed planting, growing, and care instructions are included with your plants.

When Can I Expect Fruit?

Double Gold may fruit relatively early, but a first-year harvest is not guaranteed. Fruiting depends on plant maturity, root establishment, pruning, climate, and growing conditions. Give your plants time to establish and develop healthy growth.

Seasonal Ordering and Shipping

These are young, live rooted potted plants. If ordering during fall or winter, consider whether you can provide a greenhouse or another suitable protected environment. Young starter plants may not have enough time to establish before cold weather arrives.

Double Gold is listed for USDA hardiness zones 5–8. Warmer climates are not automatically suitable, as winter chill requirements and local conditions may affect performance.

Please confirm current availability and the expected dispatch date before ordering. The seller’s Monday or Tuesday UPS 3 Day Select shipping schedule applies to the 1–2-year-old potted plants; confirm the shipping method and dispatch schedule for these 6–8 month starter plants.
