Red Heritage Raspberry Bush

The Red Heritage Raspberry Bush (Rubus idaeus 'Red Heritage') is a popular variety known for its sweet, juicy, and vibrant red raspberries. It is an everbearing variety, meaning it produces two harvests per year—one in late summer and another in fall. Red Heritage raspberries thrive in USDA Zones 4-8 and require full sun, well-drained soil, and regular watering. The bush grows to about 3-4 feet tall and benefits from annual pruning to remove old canes and encourage new growth. It is relatively resistant to common raspberry pests and diseases, though it should still be monitored for issues like raspberry beetles or fungal infections. Red Heritage raspberries are perfect for fresh eating, baking, or making jams and preserves.
