These Red Raspberries are so prolific - and don't need a trellis like most types. Let them grow all season, and harvest handfulls of berries from August until the frost. Then mow them down to the ground, and they'll produce just as strongly the next year! The fruit is bright, sweet, tart. The canes grow 4-6' tall and will sprout new canes bit by bit each year until you have a nice patch -- and can pull up any extras for neighbors.

This Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) variety ‘Heritage’ is a workhorse with soul—a classic that has earned its place in gardens and farms across North America. Bred at Cornell University and released in the late 1960s, Heritage became the gold standard for fall-bearing raspberries thanks to its reliability, cold hardiness, and consistently good flavor. It’s a variety with a real track record: planted once, tended well, and productive for years.

Plants grow into upright, vigorous canes reaching 4–6 feet tall, forming a dense but manageable patch in full sun. Heritage is prized for its long harvest window, offering a lighter summer crop on second-year canes and a heavier, often sweeter harvest on new growth from late summer into fall.So you can either keep canes for two years each and then cut them—or you can mow the whole patch down to the ground every winter and get great late summer harvests year after year. The delicate spring flowers are pollinator-friendly, and the plants adapt well to a wide range of soils as long as drainage is decent.

The berries are firm, deep red, and classically raspberry-sweet—excellent straight off the cane, but sturdy enough for freezing, jam, and baking. Moreover, anywhere from 6-12 canes can sprout up each year after it’s established, so you’ll have a beautiful and long-lasting berry patch in no time. And unline other raspberries, you can get away with not giving these guys support—no need to make some type of trellis, they’ll stand up straight enough on their own. Hardy from USDA Zones 4–8, Heritage is an ideal choice for anyone who want dependable harvests, flexible pruning options, and fruit that shows up when other berries are winding down.
