The Yellow Raspberry offers a highly sought-after, sweeter-than-red alternative for the backyard grower. This cane berry produces generous yields of soft, golden fruit with a delightfully mild, low-acid flavour. It is a fantastic, productive addition to any Perth garden, thriving in local conditions with minimal fuss.

Shade or full sun: Prefers full morning sun and some afternoon shade in Perth summers.
Minimum pot year 5: 30L pot (Requires annual division)

Yellow raspberries are self-fertile and establish quickly. Unlike many tropical fruits, they are exceptionally fast to produce fruit, often bearing within the first two years. The canes require support to manage their productive habit and keep the fruit off the soil. The golden berries are perfect for eating fresh, drying, or lightly preserving. They are a genuinely rewarding berry to cultivate.
Interesting Notes:
Yellow varieties are often less tart than their red cousins, appealing to those who prefer a subtler sweetness. They are also highly favoured by chefs for their unique colour and flavour.
