Organic Raspberry ‘Caroline Red’ is an outstanding everbearing variety appreciated for its rich flavor, vigorous growth, and dependable late-summer productivity. Known for producing deep red, velvety-soft berries with exceptional sweetness, Caroline offers home gardeners and small growers consistently delicious harvests ideal for fresh eating or freezing. Plants thrive in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil, where organic compost and mulching help maintain moisture, nurture soil biology, and support long-term plant health. Even watering and routine maintenance contribute to steady fruiting throughout the warm season.
Highly productive canes reach about 5' tall and benefit from trellising or sturdy support due to their size and generous fruit load. As a primocane-bearing (everbearing) cultivar, ‘Caroline Red’ fruits on first-year canes beginning in late July and continuing into fall. Proper spacing, thoughtful pruning, and good airflow encourage resilient growth and reduce disease pressure, making this a strong choice for organic systems. With its reliable yields and excellent berry quality, Caroline is well suited for edible landscapes, u-pick gardens, and backyard berry patches.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
