Heritage Everbearing Red Raspberry - 1 gal 12"

Imagine stepping into your yard and picking a handful of sweet, juicy red raspberries not just once, but twice a year! That's the joy of the 'Heritage' Everbearing Red Raspberry. This is one of the most popular varieties for a reason—it’s self-pollinating and an excellent producer, giving you a moderate crop in early summer and a heavy, abundant crop from late summer through the first frost. This prolonged harvest makes it an absolute must-have for the home gardener eager for fresh fruit!

Ideally suited for Zones 7 and 8 (and much colder!), the 'Heritage' thrives in Full Sun, which is key for maximizing berry production and flavor. It grows to a manageable, upright size of 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, and is mainly self-supporting, though you may find an extra stake helpful when the canes are heavy with fruit. Regarding critters, while the thorns offer some protection, deer and rabbits might nibble, so a simple fence may be necessary to protect your precious harvest!

To establish your raspberry patch, remember these simple steps: Raspberries crave moisture and good drainage. Plant your canes in soil blended with Watters Premium Mulch to provide the rich organic matter and water retention they need. Immediately mix in and water with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food—a gentle feeding that will encourage strong root development and vigorous growth for those first sweet harvests. Happy planting!
