Raspberry 'Raspberry Shortcake' (Rubus idaeus NR7 PP#22,141): Dwarf Thornless for Containers

Raspberry Shortcake

BrazelBerries® Raspberry Shortcake™ Dwarf Thornless Raspberry (Rubus idaeus NR7 P.P. #22,141) is a dwarf, thornless red raspberry with an endearing, rounded growth habit that thrives in a large patio pot or in the landscape. It will nicely fill out any container, and requires no staking! Spreads slightly in the landscape. Self-fertile, yielding large, nutritious, super sweet berries in mid-summer. Deciduous.

Care: Provide well-drained, neutral soil. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring, repeat in summer. Fruit is produced on second-year canes. Just after harvest, prune out only the canes that have fruited. Leave the new canes that have sprouted during the growing season to overwinter and produce next year's fruit. In late spring, prune only to remove old canes with no new growth.
