Why Choose Heritage Raspberries?

• Everbearing variety: Can produce summer and fall crops depending on pruning and growing conditions.

Harvest Potential

Heritage may produce a fall crop and additional crops in following years, depending on climate, plant establishment, pruning, and care. Harvest timing and yield vary. Fruit production is not guaranteed in the first season, especially with young starter plants.

Planting and Care

• Sunlight: Choose a sunny location for healthy growth and fruit production.

• Soil: Use well-draining soil and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging the roots.

• Watering: Monitor moisture closely while the young plants establish.

• Spacing: Allow sufficient room for raspberry canes and airflow; follow the supplied growing instructions.

• Seasonal care: Give young plants time to establish before exposure to harsh weather.

Important Seasonal Ordering Notice

The seller does not recommend ordering starter plants in fall or winter unless greenhouse or suitable protected growing conditions are available. Young plants may not have enough time to establish before cold weather. A warmer USDA zone alone does not guarantee successful establishment.

Plant Growth and Shipping

The plants are grown in a soilless planting mix from rootstock. They are rooted, but their growth rate and eventual height depend on sunlight, climate, watering, and care. The seller indicates that plants may reach 3 feet or more during the growing season under suitable conditions; this is not guaranteed.

Plants may ship with leaves during summer and fall and may be dormant during winter and spring.

Please note: This listing is for two 6–8-month starter plants. The seller also offers larger, approximately 1–2-year-old potted plants in deeper 5.5-inch pots. Those larger plants may be pruned to fit the shipping box, and their Monday/Tuesday UPS 3 Day Select shipping schedule does not necessarily apply to these starter plants.

Please confirm current availability, seasonal suitability, and shipping details before ordering.
