Compact Raspberry Bush is Perfect for Containers
Pick Large Amounts of Delicious Raspberries from a Giant Bush.
Here's the problem with raspberries... they grow on long, skinny canes that need to be supported on trellises and spaced out in order to get a decent crop. They have thorns that make them tough to pick and some varieties make you wait an entire extra year because they can only produce on mature canes.
The Bushel and Berry® Raspberry Shortcake® solves all these problems. It grows in a dense bush form that can give you more fruit than a small row of lanky canes. It thrives in a container or the ground, producing fruit on thick new growth. You get a great crop year after year without the work or hassle.
This is an exceptional tasting raspberry. It's full size with a great texture. They named it shortcake because of how sweet it is. Around July, your bushes start to look like small fruit factories... pumping out bright red berries against that lush green backdrop. You can pick for weeks and never have to worry about thorns.
Your bush grows about 3 ft. tall. Ideal for a back deck, where you can walk out each morning and pick fresh raspberries for your breakfast. The larger your container, the larger your plant will grow. But if you really want to get creative... this is a bright looking shrub. Plant them on each side of your front entrance or even as a foundation hedge. In the fall you will start seeing your leaves turning autumn colors. Plant several for a hedge that will give you enough berries to freeze throughout the year as well as share with friends and family.
This is a real problem solver that you will see more of in a few years. We are one of a few nurseries that are able to offer the Raspberry Shortcake®. Your bushes will arrive with a well-developed root mass and cane structure that is ready to explode with new growth. These large sizes will likely sell out quickly for the year. We suggest you order while they are still available.

Amazing!
Ordered 2 plants. The raspberry and a lemonade blueberry. They both came looking so healthy! Raspberry already had flowers and within a week had a whole bunch of berries starting to pop up. Blueberry is still tiny so I don’t expect berries this year but excited to see it produce!
Fruit after a month!
One month after ordering, 3.5 weeks after planting, we have baby raspberries! My raspberry bush has absolutely thrived and grown a lot already, and we have dozens of raspberries! 100% worth the purchase.
Very Satisfied
These are COVERED in berries so hopefully we get a good harvest this summer. I have them in 16" pots and I'm going to have to up pot them next year for sure. Get a flower trellis to hold these up! They are $6 each and it allows more air flow and for them to keep their canes strong. Put them in a draining pot. I have them in a self watering pot and it hurts it by keeping it wet so I have to dump the water out after every rain.
Great customer service!
Bought in early Spring, unfortunately arrived with several dead canes and did not survive transplant. FGT was quick to reach out and refund me for my purchase!
Beautiful!
I got it a few days ago and left it out to get acclimated. Planted today. Already some flowers and it is looking so healthy and beautiful! The shipping was impeccable and I’m so excited to finally have some raspberries soon. My toddler is obsessed with raspberries, so I’m excited to grow our own.
