Raspberry 'Heritage'
Rubus x 'Heritage'
Heritage is a popular everbearing variety that can produce 2 crops in one season. The extra-sweet, large, juicy berries ripen in early summer and again in early fall.
Raspberries are self-fertile, and only one variety is needed to produce fruit.
Heritage is an everbearing variety, meaning it can produce berries twice a year. First on second-year canes in summer, and again on new canes in late summer/early fall. The second-year canes can be cut down after they finish fruiting in the summer.
Raspberries grow best in full to part sun with slightly acidic, moist, fertile, well-drained soil.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through August, depending on suppliers availability.

Care

Water every 2-4 days for the first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).
If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
