Caroline Red Raspberry Live Plants | Pack of 2 (TWO) | 5-9" Tall | Everbearing Rubus Idaeus Bush | Hardy Zone 4-9

What You Will Receive: You will receive a Pack of 2 healthy, well-rooted 'Caroline' Red Raspberry starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root to prevent transplant shock, these vigorous canes are ready to establish quickly in your soil, putting their energy into root development for massive future yields.

Two Harvests Per Year: Why settle for one crop when you can have two? 'Caroline' is a premium Everbearing (Primocane) variety. It produces a moderate crop in early summer and a massive, heavy-yielding harvest from late summer through the first frost, ensuring your kitchen is stocked with berries for months.

Superior Flavor Profile: Experience the taste that grocery store berries can't match. 'Caroline' is widely considered superior to the standard 'Heritage' variety, boasting larger berries with a richer, more intense, and sweeter raspberry tang. Perfect for fresh eating right off the bush, or for making award-winning jams and pies.

The "Forgiving" Berry Bush: Grow with confidence, even if you are a beginner. This variety is bred for exceptional disease resistance, specifically against root rot and yellow rust. It is vigorous, highly productive, and cold-hardy down to USDA Zone 4, making it a reliable performer across most of the United States.

Versatile Growing Options: Whether you have a dedicated orchard or a sunny patio, these berries thrive. They grow vigorously in garden rows (trellis recommended) or can be managed in large 10-15 gallon containers for urban gardening. They are self-pollinating, so you don’t need bees to get fruit, though pollinators love them!

Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unwrap immediately and soak roots in water for 2 hours. Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a spot with Full Sun (6+ hours). Dig a trench or hole deep enough to spread roots out. Water deeply 2-3 times a week. Prune canes that have borne fruit to the ground in late winter.

Safe Arrival Guarantee: We ship using eco-friendly, moisture-retentive packaging to keep the roots hydrated during transit. Please note: Bare-root plants may appear dormant (stick-like) upon arrival. This is normal! They are sleeping energy bombs waiting to burst into growth once planted.

Stop Buying Expensive, Mushy Berries. Grow Your Own Superfood.

There is nothing in the culinary world that compares to a sun-warmed red raspberry plucked straight from your own garden. With our 2-Pack of 'Caroline' Red Raspberry plants, you are investing in years of delicious, fresh harvests. The 'Caroline' is not just any raspberry; it is an improved Everbearing variety that outshines older types like 'Heritage' in both flavor intensity and yield.

The Everbearing Advantage Most fruit plants only give you one harvest. 'Caroline' works overtime. As a Primocane variety, it fruits on first-year canes. You’ll enjoy an early summer crop, followed by a second, heavier harvest in the fall that lasts right up until the frost. Imagine baking fresh berry cobblers for your 4th of July party and your Thanksgiving prep!

Rich, Intense Flavor Grocery store raspberries are picked early for shipping, resulting in a tart, woody taste. Your home-grown 'Caroline' berries ripen fully on the vine, developing a complex, sugary-sweet flavor profile with that classic raspberry tang. They are large, firm, and deep red—perfect for fresh snacking, freezing, or canning.

Tough & Adaptable Designed for resilience, 'Caroline' is hardy from the freezing winters of Zone 4 to the heat of Zone 9. It has high resistance to common berry diseases like root rot, meaning you spend less time worrying and more time harvesting. Whether planted in a backyard patch or large patio pots, these vigorous growers will reward you season after season.
