Berry Seeds - Gold Raspberry

Gold raspberry seeds grow into a perennial deciduous bramble with an upright to spreading growth habit, suitable for home gardens and small planting areas. The plants are well adapted to temperate climates and develop cane-forming growth that benefits from spacing and light support. Raspberry plants perform best in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Their manageable size and growth pattern make them suitable for garden rows, borders, and mixed perennial plantings.
