Autumn-bearing. Raspberry ‘Fallgold’ is a compact, late-season variety that yields a reliable crop of medium to large, firm, yellow berries with a sweet, tangy flavour. The fruit grows on strong, upright canes, extending from late summer into autumn. Height: 100cm (39in). Spread: 150cm (59in). All of our raspberries are thoroughly inspected and certified by the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure they are free from pests and diseases. The bare root plants are carefully hand-graded and selected before packing. Estimated time to first harvest once planted: 4-8 months. Estimated time to peak yields: 16-20 months. A relatively compact, late-season raspberry, Raspberry ‘Fallgold’ produces good crops of medium to large, firm, yellow berries with a sweet flavour.
Grow raspberry plants in a sunny position in any well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. The stems of summer fruiting raspberries will require support. Before planting, prepare a framework of wires stretched horizontally between two sturdy 1.8m (6’) posts. Autumn fruiting varieties will not require supports.
Plant raspberry canes in a row against the wire supports, allowing a distance of 60cm (24”) between plants. Water well.
Summer fruiting raspberries fruit on the previous season’s growth. Leave unpruned after planting. This cane will go on to produce fruit next summer, at the same time, new shoots will grow from the roots. Once fruit has been picked the original cane should be removed and the new shoots left to grow to produce fruit the following year. Autumn fruiting canes should be pruned to 15cm (6”) above ground level immediately after planting to encourage more shoots to be produced.
