Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Growing Zones
Everbearing and brilliant, the Heritage Raspberry (Rubus idaeus var. strigosus 'Heritage') is an excellent self-fertile raspberry that offers pristine flavor and a large crop. This vigorous grower is a great choice for raspberry fans that want to snack on sweet berries all season long!
As an everbearing raspberry, Heritage produces drifts of gorgeous white flowers and juicy berries in July and then again, as fall arrives! It will keep popping out berries until your first frost hits!
The cold-hardy Heritage fruit is full of flavor and its firm texture makes it easy to pick. Each berry is a host of extra-sweet juice. You'll love the look of these berries too! They're deep pinkish-red and one of the larger berries you can find on the home orchard market.
Planting and Application:
You will love the berries, and also enjoy the low-maintenance nature. Its vigorous growth won't need stakes or support. Use anywhere in your landscape to replace flowering shrubs! Take advantage of those thorns and create linear orchards that double as screening and privacy, as well as property division that says 'keep out'!
Show off your Heritage Raspberries as part of an edible garden. They grow fast and spread well, so give them space and watch them go! Birds and wildlife adore them for nesting and cover, plus the delectable fruit! You may want to cover at least one for yourself. Pollinators will arrive in droves for the feast twice a year too!
- Vigorous Growth
- Self-Fertile Everbearing
- Large Extremely Juicy Red Berries
- High Sugar Levels
- Edible Hedge, Property Division, Privacy & Shelterbelts
#ProPlantTips for Care:
Everbearing Raspberries produce a crop in August-September on the tips of the canes that formed that spring. Leave these canes in place overwinter and they'll reward you with a June crop the following spring. When those 2nd-year canes are harvested, they can be cut to the ground. Leaving the new, younger green canes to start the cycle over.
Otherwise, provide full sun and a well-drained moist location for your shrub. Keep them mulched and provide slightly acidic fertilizer.
- Full Sun
- Low Maintenance!
- Moderately Moist, Mulched Fertile & Well-Drained Soil
- ~300 Chill Hours
- Prune Very Early Spring
Don't settle for bland or bitter fruit. The Heritage Raspberry Bush is a sweet treat that won't stop giving until the frost arrives. Invest in the best with some now from NatureHills.com!
