NEW! Heritage is an ever bearing raspberry with big crop in June and larger crop from September through fall. High quality with excellent, mild flavor good fresh or for preserving.
Heritage is a classic name in raspberries, a red variety with sweet flavor and great holding ability on the vine. Unlike some varieties, Heritage won't fall to pieces if you delay picking the ripe fruit a day or two; it stays firm, juicy, and super-flavorful. Plants are very vigorous and resist Powdery Mildew.
This is the prize that causes eager berry lovers to flock to pick-your-own patches. Easiest of all to grow.
Strong and productive plant, spreads fast. Root rot resistant with good drainage. Excellent variety for home gardener. Raspberries prefer a deep, well-drained, fertile soil and typically bear fruit on 2-year old wood with ever bearers producing on first-year wood. Will thrive in most soil types and are versatile and hardy in the coldest climates where other cane fruits fail. Plant late winter to early spring. Space 2’-3’ in a row with 8’-10’ between rows.
Fall varieties bear fruit on new growth produced in the summer. Those canes will produce a light early summer crop the next summer. After that, the canes should be removed. Fall-bearing canes can be cut down to the ground in early spring if an early crop of fruit isn't wanted.
