Hand Picked Nursery Polka Raspberry Plants – Bare Root, 1-Year-Old – Everbearing Red Variety – Extra Sweet, Large Berries – Early Fall Harvest – Cold Hardy, Productive – Zones 4–8

Grow one of the sweetest and earliest fall-bearing raspberries with Polka Raspberry Plants. This everbearing red raspberry is prized for its low-acid, intensely sweet flavor and large, firm berries that are perfect for fresh eating, baking, and freezing.

Polka ripens earlier than many fall raspberry varieties, offering a bountiful harvest starting in late summer and continuing through early fall. Its upright canes are strong and easy to manage, requiring minimal support. Ideal for USDA Zones 4–8, Polka is cold hardy, productive, and disease resistant, making it a favorite among home gardeners and small-scale growers.

Each plant is shipped as a 1-year-old bare root, dormant and ready to establish quickly for seasons of delicious fruit.
