Heritage is a 1969, Cornell University - NYSAES release, and set the standard for everbearing (aka fall bearing), primocane-fruiting raspberry varieties. Heritage produces tall, rugged canes with vigorous, upright growth, and it "suckers" (spreads) rapidly, quickly enhancing both the size of the bush itself, as well as the potential quantities of harvestable berries. As it has an everbearing fruiting habit, the plants produce berries on old canes that ripen in early summer, and on new canes that ripen from late summer (relatively late compared to some other varieties) until frost. Heritage raspberries have an attractive, dark red color, very good flavor and firmness, and they have demonstrated good freezing qualities, as well.
