Raspberry ‘Heritage’ is a widely planted everbearing variety is favored for fruit size, flavor and firmness. Bears a moderate early crop with heavy yields in late summer and fall. For fall only crop, mow canes to ground level in autumn after fruiting. Strong and productive plant, spreads fast. Excellent variety for home gardener.
Planting instructions: May be planted in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the roots meet the stem) is about 1-2" below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Fertilize newly set plants 2-3 weeks after planting and again in early summer. Water well during growth, and consider mulching to conserve water until the following spring, when the mulch should be removed to let the plants warm up. In winter, cut back to about 5 canes per crown.
