FAQs
When does Raspberry All Gold produce fruit?
This variety produces fruit from late summer through the autumn months.
Can I grow this variety in a pot?
Yes, its compact 1.2-1.5 metre height makes it ideal for large containers.
Do I need to prune this differently than other raspberries?
As an autumn-fruiting variety, you simply prune all canes to the ground in late winter, which is much easier than the two-stage pruning required for summer varieties.
Are the berries sweet?
Yes, Raspberry All Gold is known for its sweet, mild, and aromatic flavour.
How far apart should I plant them?
Space them approximately 45-60 cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
Does it need a sunny location?
For the best yield and sugar content, plant them in a location that receives full sun or very light shade.
Troubleshooting
Fruit is small or dry
Increase watering during the fruit swelling stage and ensure the plant is mulched to retain moisture.
Poor growth or stunted canes
Check soil pH levels and ensure the plant is not in waterlogged ground; raspberries prefer slightly acidic to neutral, free-draining soil.
Canes falling over
Ensure canes are tied into a wire support system or frame to prevent them from leaning under the weight of the fruit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Striking golden appearance adds interest to the garden
- Extends the harvest season late into the year
- Compact size is perfect for container gardening
- Sweet, mild, and non-acidic flavour profile
- Requires less complex pruning than summer-fruiting varieties
Cons
- Not suited for early-season harvest

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Planting: Plant during the dormant season (late autumn to early spring) in well-drained, fertile soil. If planting in containers, ensure the pot has ample drainage holes.
- Sunlight: Site in full sun to partial shade for the best fruit sweetness.
- Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during the fruit-ripening phase in late summer.
- Pruning: Cut all canes down to ground level in late winter or early spring. This encourages strong, vigorous new growth that will produce fruit by late summer.
- Mulching: Apply a thick layer of organic mulch around the base in spring to suppress weeds and retain moisture.
- Support: Install a basic cane support or wire frame to keep the plant upright, especially when heavily laden with fruit.
