Organic Raspberry ‘Golden Everest’ is a stunning yellow-fruited raspberry variety known for its unique colour and exceptionally sweet flavour. Its golden-yellow berries are larger than most raspberries and offer a mild, honey-like sweetness, making them perfect for fresh eating, adding a pop of colour to desserts, or creating vibrant jams and preserves. ‘Golden Everest’ is a hardy, vigorous plant that thrives in organic gardens, offering a productive and reliable crop season after season.
To grow ‘Golden Everest’ in the UK, choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining soil. This variety performs best when planted in nutrient-rich, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Enrich the soil with organic compost or well-rotted manure before planting to promote strong growth. The best time to plant is either in early spring, after the last frost, or in late autumn, before the ground freezes. Ensure that the plants are spaced about 3 feet apart to allow for good air circulation and growth.
Once established, ‘Golden Everest’ raspberries require regular watering, especially during dry periods, to ensure consistent fruit development. Mulching around the base of the plants helps to retain moisture and suppress weeds. As the plants grow, they may require some light pruning to remove old canes and promote fresh growth, which encourages better fruit production in subsequent years.
Raspberry ‘Golden Everest’ typically begins to fruit in late summer, from August through to early autumn. The berries should be picked when they are fully ripened to their signature golden-yellow colour and easily come off the canes. Regular harvesting ensures a longer fruiting season. Enjoy these unique raspberries fresh off the plant or preserve their delicate flavour by freezing or turning them into jams.
