Growing Cascade Delight Raspberry Plants:

Raspberries are easy to grow, but they do need good conditions: a rich soil that drains well & is kept moist in dry weather, lots of sun and ideally some shelter from strong wind.
This variety is the best for clay soils with poor drainage. They still won't tolerate waterlogged conditions, but they'll thrive in slightly damp sites where other varieties may be more prone to root rot.

History & Trivia

Bred by a collaboration of Washington State, Oregon State & Idaho Universities in 2003.

Standard practice is to deliver raspberry canes with last year's growth cut back to 45-60 cm.

Therefore, summer fruiting raspberries will bear few, if any, berries in the Summer following planting. Their first full fruiting season will be in the year after.
