The Heritage raspberry is a large size, very firm, dark red berries with classic raspberry flavor. For many years this was the standard variety for production and high-quality fruit by which fall-bearing varieties were judged. Ripens in July, then repeats in September. The Heritage raspberries have good size, color and flavor. They should produce 2 to 5 lbs. of fruit when mature. The fruit is good for jam and freezing and is delicious for fresh use, as well. Plants are very vigorous and resist powdery mildew. Two year canes. Sold single cane.
