Heritage no longer matches the largest modern cultivars for berry size, but it remains a benchmark for dependability. The red raspberries are firm, flavourful and withstand picking well. Its autumn crop is late and extended, performing particularly well in favourable conditions but sometimes being shortened by early frost. Cutting every cane down each winter makes management especially straightforward.

Heritage raspberry plant produces generous crops of firm, flavourful raspberries of medium size.
Heritage is an everbearing raspberry variety. The first harvest takes place in June on the previous year’s canes, followed by a second cropping period from August to October on the current year’s canes.
This variety prefers cool, rather acidic soils. Mulching with fragmented ramial wood can help recreate conditions similar to a woodland edge and support good growth.
After fruiting, remove canes that have finished cropping and thin out surplus canes. For everbearing raspberries, two-year-old canes should be cut back to the base, while one-year-old canes can be shortened after their upper part has fruited.
An open pruning structure helps reduce disease pressure, including botrytis.
Heritage is self-fertile, so a single plant can produce fruit.
