Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Cascade Delight raspberries thrive in fertile, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5-6.5. Ensure full sun exposure for the best yields. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular pruning of spent canes promotes new growth and increased berry production. Water consistently during dry spells.
When to Grow
Plant Cascade Delight raspberries in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. In mild climates, fall planting is also possible. These raspberries are cold-hardy but should be mulched over winter for added protection in colder regions. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'
How to Sow and Plant
Choose a sunny site with well-draining, loamy soil. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots and plant 1-2 inches deep. Space plants 24-36 inches apart in rows spaced 8-10 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch to maintain soil moisture.
How to Grow
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use a balanced fertilizer in spring as new growth emerges. Prune old, fruit-bearing canes after harvest and remove weak shoots. Install a trellis or support system to keep canes upright and improve air circulation.
How to Save
- Propagate Cascade Delight raspberries through root suckers or tip layering. In early spring or fall, dig up young suckers with roots and replant them.
- For tip layering, bend a cane to the ground, cover the tip with soil, and allow it to root before cutting and transplanting.
FAQ
How soon will Cascade Delight raspberries produce fruit?
Cascade Delight raspberries typically produce fruit in their second year after planting. Once established, they provide a summer harvest, usually from mid-June to late July. With proper care, plants can remain productive for up to 10 years.
Do Cascade Delight raspberries need a trellis?
Yes, Cascade Delight raspberries benefit from a trellis or support system. Their vigorous canes can grow over 6 feet tall. A trellis keeps the canes upright, improves air circulation, reduces disease risk, and makes harvesting easier.
How do I prune Cascade Delight raspberries?
Prune spent canes after fruiting by cutting them to the ground. In late winter or early spring, thin out weak or damaged canes and leave 4-6 strong canes per plant. This encourages healthy new growth and increases future berry yields.
