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: The 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 when cared for properly. Under favorable conditions, plants may reach several feet in height during a growing season.

Disease resistance: Double Gold shows resistance to Phytophthora root rot and certain common leaf diseases. Resistance does not mean immunity, so proper watering, soil drainage, and general plant care remain important.

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

Planting and Care

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

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

• Water: Keep the root zone evenly moist without allowing the soil to become waterlogged.

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

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

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

Will My Plants Produce Fruit the First Year?

Early fruiting may be possible, but a first-year harvest is not guaranteed. Fruit production depends on plant maturity, establishment, pruning, climate, and care. Give your starter plants time to develop a healthy root system and strong growth.

Seasonal Ordering and Shipping

These are young, live potted starter plants. If ordering in fall or winter, consider whether you can provide a greenhouse or another suitable protected growing environment. Young 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 growing conditions can influence performance.

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