Why Choose Raspberry 'Heritage'?

Raspberry 'Heritage' is an exceptional variety loved by gardeners for its extended fruiting period and robust growth. These canes start ripening their first berries in late summer and continue producing well into autumn—perfect for filling the gap when other soft fruits have finished. The fruit is large, firm, and bursting with a classic raspberry taste, ideal for eating fresh, freezing, or baking into desserts.

With a reputation for disease resistance and reliable crops, Raspberry 'Heritage' is reliably productive even in less-than-ideal conditions. It’s well suited to gardens throughout New Zealand and can even be grown in large containers if space is limited.

Planting and Growing Heritage Raspberry

Plant your Raspberry 'Heritage' in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. When planting, ensure each cane has enough space to spread out and benefit from good air circulation. Mulching around the plants will help to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Heritage raspberries are low-maintenance and respond well to regular pruning, which encourages healthy new growth and keeps berry production high. Autumn-fruiting raspberries like 'Heritage' should be cut back in winter, as their fruit forms on new canes each year.

Extend Your Raspberry Harvest

If you love growing your own berries, consider planting a mix of early, mid, and late-fruiting varieties. Alongside 'Heritage', try Raspberry 'Aspiring' for its early summer harvest or Raspberry 'Waiau' for its reliable, large crops. Raspberry 'Taylor' offers classic flavour, while compact Raspberry 'Mini-Me' is ideal for patios. For traditionalists, Raspberry 'Clutha' provides robust, sweet fruit.

You may also want to try Raspberry 'Autumn Bliss' alongside 'Heritage' to diversify your late-season supply, or branch out into other berries like Loganberry Waimate, Blackberry 'Navaho', or Blueberry 'Centurion'. For an even more abundant berry patch, consider adding black currants such as Ribes 'Sefton' (Black Currant).
