How to use Heritage Ever-bearing Red Raspberry in the landscape?
Watch your hands! Heritage, although fruitful, is a thorny shrub much like wild raspberries. Though thorny, that does not stop Heritage from producing double crops on each cane; that means double the yummy berries! However, berry crops are split: the first crop is in the fall, and the second occurs early the following summer. Before fruit production, Heritage puts on a nice flower show with clusters of white blooms that appear similar to roses.
How To Plant Heritage Ever-bearing Red Raspberry
Raspberries thrive best in soil with mildly acidic conditions that are rich in organics, moist, and well-draining. Full sun is best; however, raspberries do tolerate part shade; fruit crops may be less plentiful when plants are exposed to shade. Raspberries are self-fertile and do not require another variety to cross-pollinate.
How To Water
You will want to water your raspberry deeply 2-3 times weekly for the first three months to help with establishment. Try your very best to keep the soil moist.
How To Prune
Canes that have fruited should be pruned back and removed; new canes will grow back and produce fruit. Suckers may develop roots if not pruned back to prevent further growth.

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
