Double Gold Raspberry – 10 Seeds

Double Gold Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ‘Double Gold’) is an unique, ever-bearing raspberry variety with an excellent sweet flavor. It is a highly productive plant. The fruit is a pale golden color when unripe, changing to a vibrant coral color once fully ripe. It is named Double Gold because in warmer areas it produces two crops of berries – as both a floricane (summer) and primocane (autumn) producer.

Growing Double Gold Raspberry

• Fill a seed starter tray with sterile potting soil in the early fall.
• Press one to two Raspberry Seeds ¼ inch down into the soil of each cell.
• Pat the soil down gently over the seeds to remove air pockets.
• Mist the soil lightly to dampen, using a spray bottle filled with water.
• Keep the soil moist throughout the germination process.
• Place the seed starter tray in a cool, dark area while the raspberry seeds germinate.
• The seeds will begin to sprout within three months.
• Set the seed starter tray in an area that receives bright, indirect sunlight once the seeds begin to sprout.
• Continue to keep the soil moist and provide the raspberry plants with adequate light as they continue to grow.
• Transplant the raspberry plants outdoors in the spring, as soon as the soil is workable.
• Select an area for transplanting your raspberries that contains full sun and well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5.
• Raspberries can also be successfully grown in containers.
