Yellow Raspberry 'Cascade Gold'

‘Cascade Gold’ Yellow Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ‘Cascade Gold’). Rubus idaeus ‘Cascade Gold’ is a unique summer-fruiting raspberry appreciated for its golden-yellow fruits with a sweet and delicately sugary flavor. This upright, bushy raspberry develops vigorous canes producing medium to large-sized raspberries that are firm, juicy, and bright, adding a decorative touch to the vegetable garden. Its summer fruiting, on canes from the previous year, ensures an abundant mid-season harvest, ideal for fresh consumption, desserts, and golden-hued jams.

To plant ‘Cascade Gold’ yellow raspberry, choose a suitable exposure: sun. The recommended soil is: rich, well-drained, slightly acidic. Ensure access for picking fruit without breaking new canes. Pruning depends on the fruiting cycle: distinguish the canes that have produced shoots for the next harvest. Support can facilitate the maintenance of vigorous varieties. Water the root ball before planting and check that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to plan this plant’s space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 m (5 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base to weed, check moisture, and remove damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
