Raspberry Red Heritage

Red Heritage Raspberry

Heritage Raspberry produces firm, light red berries that work well fresh, frozen, or preserved. Its vigorous canes can supply a long harvest season.

With suitable pruning, older canes carry an early crop and new canes produce again from late summer into autumn. This gives the grower a choice between managing for one main crop or retaining a two-crop system.

Use fertile, well-drained soil and good sunlight, with afternoon shade where summers are hot. Heritage is self-fertile.
