Double Gold Raspberry
Rubus ideaus
Double Gold Raspberry is a flavorful raspberry, vigorous, and disease resistant. Double Gold produces a deeply blushed, golden champagne-colored fruit with a distinctive conical shape. The "double" in its name is for its two harvests per season. The first year of planting, the initial crop is produced in the fall on the tips of current year's canes, and a second crop is produced farther down the same canes the following summer. In taste tests, Double Gold has been a favorite. Fruit is too delicate for long distance shipping, therefore a good choice for home gardeners. Double Gold is resistant to Phytophthora root rot as well as most of the common leaf diseases. Zone 5-8 Space 5' circle or 3' apart in 5' wide beds.
