Your Raspberry Shortcake® is an ouch-less cane and incredible dwarf that won't require staking, and it's self-pollinating so you can have one or more with no problem! It's small enough to tuck into vegetable and kitchen gardens, to harvest from your paito or even in a hanging planter on a sunny porch! Include among your other pollinator garden, cottage border or even front yard edible landscaping!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Fruiting bushes like Raspberries need full sun to flower and fruit the best. Provide an organically rich, well-drained moist location and mulch the roots well. Prune Floricane bushes after harvest, removing the canes that fruited this year, to the ground.
