Rubus Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake® Thornless Raspberry

Rubus Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake® Thornless Raspberry

Rubus Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake® Thornless Raspberry makes growing raspberries easy and fun, no staking, no thorns, no large garden required. This revolutionary variety grows just 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, with a natural, mounded habit perfect for containers, raised beds, or borders. The sweet, vanilla-like flavor of its medium-size berries sets it apart from standard raspberries, making every harvest a treat.

Thornless and compact, Raspberry Shortcake® is an ideal choice for families and small-space gardeners. It performs best in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.5 to 7.5). With no need for support structures, it's especially well-suited for patios and decks. Pollinated by bees and delivering up to 800 chill hours, this productive plant is hardy in zones 4 through 9.

This young plant, bare root liner, is the easiest and most efficient way to plant your very own berry patch! In the first year, this Rubus variety focuses on building strong canes. Expect your first major harvest in the second year as the mature canes begin fruiting. With minimal maintenance and high reward, Raspberry Shortcake® is a delicious and decorative addition to any garden.
