Fall Gold Raspberry Live Root – Everbearing Starter Plant for Home Garden

Fall Gold Raspberry is a unique everbearing raspberry prized for its sweet, golden-yellow berries and extended harvest season. Unlike traditional red raspberries, this variety produces fruit on both first-year canes (primocanes) in fall and second-year canes (floricanes) in summer, offering two crops in one growing season. The bright, translucent berries have a mild, honey-like sweetness that is perfect for fresh eating, desserts, jams, and preserves.

This live root starter plant is an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to establish a productive berry patch. Fall Gold is known for its vigorous growth and adaptability, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. With proper care, it can become a reliable producer of delicious, unusual berries that are sure to delight family and friends.

Planting & Care

Plant your Fall Gold raspberry live root in early spring or late fall when the plant is dormant. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without bending them, and set the plant at the same depth it was growing previously. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during the establishment period. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch a few inches away from the canes.

For ongoing care, water regularly during dry spells, especially when fruit is developing. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced berry fertilizer. Prune out spent floricanes after summer harvest and thin primocanes as needed to improve air circulation. In late winter, remove any dead or weak canes. With proper care, your Fall Gold raspberry will reward you with bountiful harvests of sweet golden berries.
