Fall Gold Raspberry is self-fertile, but the fruit crop will be
larger
if the tree is planted with a second tree.
Rubus idaeus
This everbearing yellow-gold raspberry is extremely sweet and excellent for fresh eating, canning and preserves. Fall Gold raspberries are fragile and do not ship well, so you will not find them in supermarkets. A perfect reason to add Fall Gold to your home garden! The extra large fruit is similar to red raspberries in all respects but color, and is often used in combination with red raspberrries to add visual appeal to fresh fruit salads and desserts. ORAC Value 5065.
Mature height is 3' - 8' with a spread of 4' - 8'
Space 2' - 3' in a row with 8' - 10' between rows. Requires support.
Raspberries require rich, well-mulched soil that drains well. Adjust pH to 5.6 - 6.2 with the use of an acid fertilizer, sulfur, or aluminum sulfate according to label instructions. Liberal amounts of an acid type compost such as one formulated for Azaleas / Camellias / Rhododendrons mixed with the native soil will help create the proper environment. Never use animal manures with acid plants. Raspberries like sun with afternoon shade in hot climates. Protect the roots from drying out by watering regularly and mulching. Raspberries can produce canes up to 10', so provide a strong trellis.
