Heritage Everbearing Raspberry is an upright thorny deciduous shrub primarily grown for its fruit.  The small pinkish white flowers bloom in spring attracting butterflies and has a small summer harvest and another large fall harvest of large, dark red conical raspberries that have a mild flavor but very sweet.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.  Heritage has improved disease resistance.
