Is fall gold raspberry suppose to turn red?

5 years ago

Hi,

I purchased a bag of fall gold raspberry from orchards a few seasons ago. It grew out berries for the first time, but it turned red! Is this suppose to happen or was the bag mismarked? It produced about 6-8 berries total and all became red.

thanks!

Hmmm...considering they seem to thrive in my sandbox of what i call soil and the pests seem to leave them alone for the most part, consider me sold! I thought i'd add...i was out walking in the marsh and was picking wild blackberries that were totally ripe. They were great tasting, but a little too seedy. Wish i could find one that was good to put in the yard.

Fall Gold is about the least desirable gold raspberry out there. If you search this forum, you'll see that the opinion on it always comes back the same. Look to "Anne" or "KiwiGold". Many people agree that Anne is about the best flavored raspberry out there. It tastes much like a red, but even sweeter. As for the birds, I actually find my birds like the red's over the yellows. -Glenn

My Caroline raspberries are full of berries (picked/ate over a pound yesterday) and they are located on the west side of the house, get no sun until after noon and the leaves stay wet the whole time. I've yet to see powdery mildew (the trees right next to them get it so its active)... My guess is the heat/lack of moisture. I'd be watering those things...ive had all kind of rain and mine are super sweet and huge.

Hi Tomatobob- I believe it is possible to spread diseases between different varieties, but I haven't had any problems... the only exception being white duplet disorder which is sun/heat related. I have 10 varieties of red/gold along with wild raspberries and blackberries. In fact, time to eat some now. Good luck! -Glenn P.S. when you talk about extending the row, make sure you use a very deep barrier to prevent the two from co-mingling. If they did, it wouldn't surprise me if the kiwi goldÂs out-competed the Heritage, simply due to their vigor.

I would go back to place you bought it. Labeled as 'Fall Gold', you were supposed to get a yellow-gold fruit. Wineberry could be invasive. Fruit is good to eat, but if you wanted and paid for Raspberry 'Fall Gold', that's what you should get...

Thank you! Bought supposed "Fall Gold" also at OSH several seasons ago with that same label... And indeed wineberry is what is now growing, producing. It'll get shovel pruned tomorrow.

If you like the taste and it’s productive for you I would keep it. I grew fall gold in San Jose ca but ripped it out after a few years it did very poorly with the heat
