Double Gold Raspberry

Unique blushed color is outstanding in fruit displays. Fruit color ranges from peachy gold to vibrant coral. Highly productive plants bear crops of conical-shaped raspberries with a tender, juicy texture and excellent flavor – easily a fan favorite! Ideal choice for variety in “u-pick” stands and farmer’s markets. Introduced in 2012 by Cornell University. Named for its “double” bearing nature: Fall-bearing (everbearing) primocane with a summer crop. Floricane berries ripen in July. Primocane berries ripen in September through frost. Disease-resistant to phytophthora root rot and common leaf issues. Cold-hardy. Self-pollinating. A licensed variety of Cornell University. May be covered by USPP #24,811 or other patents.

Note: Do not plant Red, Gold or Purple raspberries within 75-100 feet of Black raspberries. Black raspberries may be more susceptible to viral diseases carried by aphids to and from nearby raspberry plants.

After planting, be sure to prune the bare-root canes back to about 2 inches above the ground. (This does not apply to potted raspberry plants.) Do not skip this step! It is a crucial factor in encouraging the roots to send up new growth during the growing season. It is in the nature of raspberry plants to send up new growth as suckers or basal shoots from below the ground. This means the canes that you plant may not be where you find signs of life or new growth. When it’s time to grow, you will see new sprouts emerge from the ground around where you planted the cane, and this growth is coming from the raspberry plant’s root system.
