The Thornless Caroline Raspberry or Rubus canadensis is easy to maintain and produces large, red raspberries that measure about one inch long. White flowers grow on arching canes in the spring, giving way to fruit from June until frost. The fruit is juicy and sweet and can be eaten raw or used to make jams and pies. One mature shrub can produce up to 2 quarts of berries. This thornless variety allows for easy picking without scraping hands or snagging clothing. The Thornless Caroline Raspberry is native to the Eastern U.S. and is easy to maintain.
Thornless Caroline Raspberry Care
Plant this bush in full sun and in rich, loamy, well-drained soil. Space plants at least 3 to 4 feet apart. Prune in the fall to remove dead canes and trim active canes to encourage new growth. The Thornless Caroline Raspberry spreads by underground rhizomes and can form dense thickets.
Growing Thornless Caroline Raspberry
Thornless Caroline Raspberry bushes stand 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Plant this bush at any time during the spring and summer. Raspberry bushes often produce fruit in the second growing season or one year after planting.
Feature this raspberry bush in a container that measures 16 inches wide. The container can be placed in a garden or landscape, or even near a porch or patio since this is a thornless cultivar. Water when the soil is dry and fertilize monthly.
Watering Thornless Caroline Raspberry
Water when the soil is dry. Established plants develop drought tolerance, but appreciate water during a dry period, ensuring a continuous crop. The Thornless Caroline Raspberry can live in damp conditions and will not need much supplemental water if grown in a naturally moist area.
Feeding Thornless Caroline Raspberry
Routine fertilization supports growth and encourages an abundant harvest. Fertilize the Thornless Caroline Raspberry each spring using a balanced, slow-release product.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
