Notes

'Fall Gold' raspberry (Rubus idaeus var. strigosus 'Fall Gold') is a shrub for pollinator gardens, hedges, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its arching canes bloom from early to late spring and again from early to late summer, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit them.

Pairs well with Serviceberry, Black chokeberry, and Nasturtium.
