Description
Exceptional everbearing Caroline Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Caroline') produces plenty of flavorful, large, conic berries to eat fresh or freeze for later. You'll love the feeling of being prepared...turn your harvest into jams, preserves, pies, cobblers and sauce. If you adore the rich, full flavor of raspberries, you've got to grow your own. No store-bought berry can hold a candle to those grown in your own soil and sunlight. Spring starts with a flush of cheerful white blossoms that the bees and butterflies go nuts for! Then you'll enjoy watching the red fruits forming. Productive Caroline Red Raspberry plants are literally laden with fruit twice each year. The first crop in June is borne on last year's growth, the second in early fall from this year's growth. The further south you live, the earlier your fall harvest will be. It ripens earlier than Heritage Raspberry and features a marvelously pronounced Raspberry taste. The textural leaves look gorgeous and add beautiful greenery all growing season long! Planting and Application: Raspberries have become increasingly popular for their nutritional and antioxidant properties. They are a rich source of vitamin C as well as being high in manganese and dietary fiber. Eat them for both taste and health...and grow Caroline for one of the best varieties available for your home. Include these delectable treats in your kitchen garden or add a few rows in the veggie garden.
