Rubus idaeus 'Heritage' - Everbearing Red Raspberry
- multi-stemmed, prickly, thicket-forming deciduous shrub with edible fruits
- showy white single flowers in spring
- produces large, sweet, juicy, dark red raspberries suitable for fresh eating, canning, freezing, or preserves
- the favorite everbearing raspberry for excellent flavor, firmness, and fruit size
- everbearing habit means fruit will be produced on the top 1/3 of the new canes in fall, then again on the bottom 2/3 of those canes the following spring/early summer
- moderate floricane (2nd year stem) crop is in July; heavy primocane (new stem) crop is in September until frost
- prune out fruiting canes after bearing each year, to maintain plant and encourage new growth
- this cultivar’s upright canes are self supporting
- roots are perennial, but canes are biennial (fruiting in their second year)
- young shoots can be eaten like asparagus
- vigorous plants sucker freely, and stems may root where they touch ground
- best located in areas where spread can be easily maintained, or comfortably contained
- great in full sun to part shade
- generally 4-5 ft tall by 2-3 ft wide
- adaptable to many soils, except ones that stay overwet
- grows in zones 3-9
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships in cool spring, fall, or winter seasons; not during summer
