Unlike Summer-bearing raspberry cultivars that bear fruit on second-year shoots called floricanes, Heritage is an erect, "everbearing" red raspberry cultivar that produces fruit on the upper third of first-year canes, or primocanes, in late Summer and early Fall. If these canes are over-Wintered, they become floricanes and will bear a second crop on the lower two-thirds of the canes in early Summer. Consider cultivating
Comments: Everbearing, large, dark red raspberry. Has a mild flavor with superior quality for fresh eating, freezing, jams and jellies. Vigorous and very productive. First crop in mid Summer followed by the best crop in early Fall.

One of the best things I ever bought on the internet

I bought these a few years ago along with a few other varieties of raspberry. These are amazing! Low maintenance, prolific, and produce berries most of the summer.

We purchased ONE Heritage Plant 5 years ago because we were not sure that they would be hardy at our 7000 Ft. Elevation. We panted it in a small 2 foot by 4 foot bed along the side of our house. There was another 2 foot by 4 foot bed next to it with tomatoes. Both beds are now full of canes bearing 3 to 4 quarts of sweet delicious Red Raspberries from June through late July. These are just wonderful.

Excellent

Ordered 2 plants 2 or 3 years ago, the amount of berries we had last year and this year is crazy.We have gotten our moneys worth 10 times over. I will be ordering more plants!

Excellent Choice

I bought 6 canes in 2008 and planted them in early spring. I was very surprised to get berries that fall! I didn't mow them back, and they are full of berries and expanding. I hope in the next couple of years to have a long hedge along my back fence. Thankfully, the birds cannot seem to keep up with them and I get a nice share for myself.
