Heritage is a red primocane raspberry supplied as one dormant bare-root plant. Extension references describe a vigorous cultivar with medium-size, firm, bright-red fruit and mild flavor. It ripens late, so the fall crop can be shortened in colder climates with early frost.

For one fall crop, cut fruited primocanes to the ground during dormancy. Where the season is long enough, retain lower cane portions for a smaller floricane crop, then remove them after fruiting.Extension references identify Heritage as immune to raspberry bushy dwarf virus (RBDV). This specific trait does not imply resistance to other diseases or eliminate the need for drainage, airflow, and sanitation.Browse the berry plant collection and use the raspberry growing guide for planting and pruning details.
