Heritage is a popular, reliable everbearing red raspberry cultivar (Rubus idaeus) known for producing two harvests—a moderate summer crop and a heavy, high-quality fall crop. It produces large, firm, sweet, dark red berries ideal for fresh eating, freezing, and jams. These hardy, self-pollinating, and upright, self-supporting canes are ideal for zones 3–9, requiring minimal maintenance and no staking.
