Urban gardening represents high interest within cities due to extended heat waves produced by pronounced climate change. Raspberry has high potential to adapt and develop under urban gardening conditions. The study aimed to assess the adaptation of Rubus idaeus var. ʻPromykʼ in urban garden from UASVM Cluj-Napoca. The observation on phenotypic features according BBCH (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt und CHemische Industrie) scale was recorded twice a week for the growing season of 2023-2024, together with the range time for each principal growth stage. The corresponding heat units’ requirement (GDD-growing degree-days) was computed for each phenophase. Overall, the raspberries presented asynchronous growth and development in the adaptation year. The GDD highlighted differences. Therefore, the plant's development differed at the individual level based on climatic conditions.
