This little compact beauty is the first thornless raspberry to hit the market. It grows to a height of 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and really thrives in containers. And since it doesn't have thorns, it's a perfect plant for allowing kids to harvest fruit right in their own backyard.

I planted mine up in full-sun a few weeks ago in one of my containers. If all goes well, I'll have full-size, super sweet raspberries next summer just like this photo to the right. I'll be sure to post more pictures at the end of the summer, so you can see it how it's progressing.
If you want to be the first of your friends to try out this incredible new raspberry, you can order it online through White Flower here.

I ate my first Raspberry Shortcake berry this morning. Burst in my mouth with juicy flavor.
So happy you like the plants and thrilled you sampled your first berry! Just wait until next year when you have a bigger crop!
Just keep it watered well this summer and we'll remind everyone when it's time to prune. Remember, it's this year's new canes that will fruit next summer after going through the winter dormancy period.
