Producing two distinct crops per season (summer and fall), cold-hardy to Zone 3, and self-fertile, Heritage delivers an abundance of large, firm, bright red raspberries with classic sweet-tart flavor that’s perfect for fresh eating, baking, freezing, and jam-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA true workhorse of the edible garden, Heritage has been a home grower’s favorite for decades.

Raspberries have shallow roots — mulching with straw or wood chips helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid waterlogged conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-draining, loamy soil with a slightly acidic pH (5.5–6.5).

In late winter, remove all floricanes (canes that fruited in summer) at the base. For a simplified single fall crop: mow all canes to the ground in late winter — new primocanes will emerge and produce a heavy fall crop with no summer harvest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Window:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer crop: June–July on second-year canes.
