Heritage Raspberry

Heritage Raspberry plants are deciduous shrubs known for their lush green foliage and clusters of sweet, red berries that ripen from mid-summer to early autumn. This low chill variety of raspberry plants requires fewer cold hours to produce fruit, making Heritage raspberries ideal for warmer climates with mild winters. They also thrive in temperate and cool climates, featuring a classic, upright growth habit with cane-like stems. Canes produced in spring will bear fruit in the summer and again the following summer, after which they should be pruned to allow fresh canes to emerge from the base.
