The Heritage Raspberry is one of the most popular and dependable everbearing raspberry varieties, prized for its sweet flavor, high yields, and ease of care. Bred by Cornell University, Heritage produces large, firm, bright red berries that are excellent for fresh eating, freezing, and preserves.
A proven performer in USDA Zones 4–8, Heritage bears two crops per year — a light summer harvest on last year’s canes and a heavy fall crop on new growth. The berries are flavorful, aromatic, and easy to pick, making this variety a favorite among home gardeners and small farms alike.
