"I planted Cascade Gold early this spring and it has produced about two dozen berries. I have many varieties and I have been comparing them for taste, firmness etc. Cascade is the hands down winner, and in every category. The berries are enormous, firm, a beautiful  GOLDEN color, and the very best excellent tasting. The berries were so large and firm that i thought they would be dry, but they were unbelievably juicy. They deserve more than a five star review,. I will be planting more of this variety..."- One of our best customers said.
