Golden raspberries? #868123

Asked May 12, 2024, 9:18 PM EDT

Hello, I'm looking for a golden raspberry bush or two. Do you know of where I might be able to find one locally and/or if there is a trusted company to order a berry bush from? Thank you! Rita

Expert Response

We cannot make a specific recommendation of a nursery, but there are many and we suugest you search native plant nurseries in our area to find one. Most established nurseries will provide you with information about planting a ongoing care and gaurantee the plant if it dies within a certain time.

Good luck.

Thank you very much, Karen!

Should I exercise any caution regarding invasive fruit flies? I’m trying to settle on a fruit bush but they all seem to have one problem or another!

Best,

Rita

Fruit flies can become a problem for fruit shrubs. If they do, take a look at this document for measures to take: https://bpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com/blogs.cornell.edu/dist/0/7265/files/2016/12/SWDgarden-22blxxn.pdf
