Heritage everbearing red raspberry is a favorite for its flavor, firmness and fruit size. This variety produces abundant crops of large, sweet, dark red berries that are perfect for eating fresh, canning, freezing, or making jams and jellies. These self-supporting, upright canes are hearty enough to grow in poor soil, but requires a well-drained site.

This bush has two harvest seasons, with a moderate yield in July and a heavy yield in September until frost, making them everbearing. Floricane berries ripen in July and primocane berries ripen in September through frost. Red Heritage is cold-hardy and self-pollinating -a licensed variety of Cornell University.

Note: Do not plant Red, Gold or Purple raspberries within 75-100 feet of Black raspberries. Black raspberries may be more susceptible to viral diseases carried by aphids to and from nearby raspberry plants
