Framboisier ‘Double Delight’

‘Double Delight’ Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ‘Double Delight’). Rubus idaeus ‘Double Delight’ is a summer-fruiting raspberry prized for its generous yield and remarkably flavorful fruits. This upright, bushy raspberry develops vigorous canes that bear an abundance of bright red, large, firm, juicy, and intensely sweet raspberries. Its summer fruiting, on the previous year's canes, ensures a concentrated and reliable mid-season harvest, ideal for fresh consumption, baking, and processing. Its dense green foliage supports robust growth while attracting pollinators to the garden, promoting biodiversity.

To plant ‘Double Delight’ raspberry, choose an appropriate exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is rich, well-drained, and slightly acidic. Plan for easy access to pick the fruits without breaking new canes. Pruning depends on the fruiting cycle: distinguish between canes that have produced shoots destined for the next harvest. Support may facilitate the maintenance of vigorous varieties. Water the root ball before planting and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow a width of 1.2 m (4 ft) to organize this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 m (5 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine 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. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
