Fall Gold Raspberry: Sweet Golden Berries for Your Garden

Add something deliciously different to your berry patch with Fall Gold Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Fallgold'). Its yellow-gold fruit offers sweet raspberry flavor for fresh eating, preserves, and desserts. This everbearing variety can produce a late-summer-to-fall crop on new canes and another crop on the surviving portions of those canes the following late spring or early summer.

Imagine stepping into a sunny garden to pick soft, golden berries for breakfast or an evening dessert. A dedicated raspberry bed keeps harvesting convenient while giving these vigorous plants room to grow.

Why Choose Fall Gold?

• Golden fruit: Yellow-gold berries bring visual variety to your home harvest.
• Sweet flavor: Enjoy fresh or use in jams, pies, and other desserts.
• Self-pollinating: A second raspberry variety is not required for fruit set.
• Flexible harvest management: Choose a fall-focused pruning routine or retain suitable canes for two seasonal crops.

Growing Zones & Planting Requirements

• USDA hardiness zones: 4–8, using Stark Bro’s cultivar rating. Local heat, winter exposure, and care also affect performance.
• Mature size: Approximately 3–6 feet tall and 2–4 feet wide per plant, depending on conditions and pruning. Plants can spread beyond their original space through suckers.
• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Avoid waterlogged sites; raised beds can help where drainage is poor.
• Support & access: Provide room to tend and harvest the canes; a support system can help keep the planting manageable. Canes are thorny.

Choose Your Size & Pack

Listed nursery-container sizes are 1 Gallon, 2 Gallon, and 3 Gallon, with Single and 2-Pack options. Select an available size-and-pack combination. Gallon measurements describe container size, not guaranteed plant height or harvest quantity.

Pruning for Your Preferred Harvest

For a fall-focused crop: Cut all canes to ground level in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This removes the early-summer crop and directs production to the new canes later in the season.

For two seasonal crops: Retain the healthy lower portions of canes that fruited at their tips in fall, removing the spent tips. Those retained portions may fruit the following late spring or early summer. Remove those older canes after their second crop, while preserving new canes for the next fall harvest.

Water regularly during establishment and dry periods, and remove unwanted suckers to manage spread. Harvest timing and yield vary with climate, plant maturity, weather, and pruning. Fruit at delivery or a first-season harvest is not guaranteed.
