Why Choose Double Gold Raspberries?

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

Excellent sweetness and flavor: These berries are known for their delicious, sweet taste. In the seller’s nursery taste tests, they were preferred over other yellow raspberry varieties.

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

Vigorous growth: These fully rooted starter plants can establish and grow quickly under suitable conditions. With favorable growing conditions and proper 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 appropriate plant care remain important.

Self-fertile variety: Double Gold can produce fruit without another raspberry variety for pollination, although weather and growing conditions can affect fruit set.

Planting and Growing Care

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

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

• Watering: Keep the root zone consistently moist without allowing the soil to become waterlogged.

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

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

• Seasonal protection: Protect young plants from severe weather and follow recommendations 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, establishment, pruning, climate, and growing conditions. Allow the plants time to develop healthy roots and strong growth.

Seasonal Ordering and Shipping

These are young, live rooted potted plants. If ordering in fall or winter, consider whether you can provide a greenhouse or another suitable protected growing 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 influence plant 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.
