Bringing a splash of sunshine to the berry patch, Anne Yellow Raspberry is an everbearing variety known for its large, firm golden berries and sweet flavor with gentle apricot and peach notes. The fruit emerges on first-year canes in mid-summer and then again in late summer into fall, offering two harvests of striking yellow raspberries ideal for fresh eating, baking, jams, and salads. These berries are also well-suited for freezing thanks to their firm texture.
Care
Anne Yellow Raspberry thrives in full sun with at least half a day of direct light and prefers well-drained, loamy soil. It produces fruit in its first year and is self-fertile, so only a single plant is needed to enjoy a summer crop in July followed by a heavier fall crop from September until frost . To promote strong growth and productivity, keep the soil evenly moist and mulch around the base to retain humidity and suppress weeds.
Growth Habit
This vigorous shrub sends up cane stems that can reach around 4 to 6 feet tall, and it spreads via suckers to form generous patches over time. It is cold-hardy from USDA Zones 3–8 (some sources note survival to Zone 3) and adapts well to a range of climates. After harvesting, cut back the primocanes to encourage new summer growth.
Toxicity
Anne Yellow Raspberry is non-toxic to humans and pets. As a fruit-bearing plant, it’s widely used in family gardens and farms without concern for foliage ingestion. It also faces few issues with pests or disease and is generally deer-resistant.
