A descendant of the Heritage Raspberry, Caroline produces extra-large, deep red berries with superior sweetness and a classic raspberry taste that’s perfect for fresh eating, freezing, and preserves. This vigorous, disease-resistant plant thrives in USDA Zones 4–9, producing two crops each year — a light summer harvest on old canes and a heavy fall harvest on new growth.
