Organic Raspberry - Red Heritage (Ea)

The Organic Raspberry ‘Red Heritage’ is a dependable, everbearing variety valued for sweet flavor, vigorous growth, and an extended harvest season. Ideal for home gardens and small farms, this classic red raspberry sets abundant crops from midsummer into early fall. Large, firm berries develop bright color and balanced sweetness—excellent for fresh eating, freezing, baking, and small-batch jams. For best results, plant in full sun and fertile, well-draining soil amended with compost to build soil health. Maintain even moisture with organic mulch to protect roots, suppress weeds, and improve soil structure. Annual pruning supports strong cane renewal and consistent fruiting, while good air circulation helps natural disease management in organic systems.

‘Red Heritage’ adapts to a wide range of climates and is known for durable canes that seldom need staking—useful in working gardens where efficient plant care matters. Space rows to allow easy harvest and routine irrigation, and feed with a balanced organic fertilizer to support primocane production. Thoughtful cultural practices—mulching, pruning, and proper spacing—encourage resilient plants and reliable yields throughout the season.
