Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry provides an easy way for everyone to grow raspberries, even in a small space. This is a mounding, dwarf variety that doesn’t require staking or training in rows. The full-sized berries appear in midsummer and have a delicious sweet vanilla flavor. Raspberry Shortcake® is thornless so no more pokes when you harvest your berries. It flowers in fragrant, white clusters. 

This compact variety only reaches 3 feet high and wide, and has a rounded form. It is self-pollinating and fruits on new growth. This plant is deciduous and will go dormant in the winter. Grow this beauty in a patio container for easy access to fresh berries or as a compact short hedge with sweet appeal.

Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry Care

Raspberry Shortcake® grows best in full sun; it tolerates light shade, but will not fruit as abundantly without at least 6 hours of direct sun. It prefers a planting site with slightly acidic soil, rich in organic matter. The soil should be evenly moist, but not water-logged, which can cause root rot. Water regularly during the summer, potentially daily if growing in containers. Fertilize yearly in the spring with a well-balanced, slow-release formula. 

This raspberry is a floricane variety and fruits during the second year. New shoots will emerge each spring called the primocanes and will only bear foliage that season. The next year, these will become the fruit-producing floricanes. In late fall, remove the floricanes that have finished fruiting. You can also thin out crowded primocanes and any dead growth. 

Raspberry Shortcake® Raspberry Spacing

Space raspberry plants at least 3 feet apart. You can train them up a trellis for a more vertical appearance. If growing in a container, use a pot at least 24 inches to accommodate its spreading nature.

    Raspberry...

    Posted by Cory Gaines on May 15, 2023

    The plant arrived in good condition and was good sized too. Too early to tell yet whether or not it will take well to where I have it, but I'm pleased so far. One minor hiccup occurred in that I had to call to see about the shipping. I was supposed to be updated, but the automatic email system didn't send anything to me. I called them and the problem was quickly fixed.

    Hi hopes for the Raspberry Shortcake’s.

    Plants arrived on time in a nifty cardboard packing box that kept the plants upright and in perfect condition. The plants were just starting to leaf out and with water and sun took off growing in a few days. Plants are in the ground and adapting well. Can’t wait for harvest when they mature.
