Cultivar Overview

‘Heritage’ is one of the world’s most established autumn-fruiting raspberry cultivars, valued for its dependable cropping, excellent flavour and adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions. It produces firm, medium-sized berries with a rich, sweet flavour and is particularly well suited to Ireland’s temperate climate.

As a primocane (autumn-fruiting) variety, ‘Heritage’ bears fruit on the current season’s canes, making pruning simple and reducing disease carry-over from previous years.

Plant Type

Autumn-fruiting (Primocane) Raspberry

Grown on its own root system.

Mature Plant Size

The canes are upright and vigorous, requiring support in exposed locations.

Planting Distance

* 45–60 cm between plants

Why We Selected ‘Heritage’

At Luxara World, we selected ‘Heritage’ because it has proven itself over decades as one of the most reliable autumn-fruiting raspberries for Irish gardens. Its long harvest season, consistent yields and excellent fruit quality make it an outstanding choice for both beginners and experienced growers.

Professional Growing Advice

Unlike summer-fruiting raspberries, ‘Heritage’ fruits on the current season’s canes. For the simplest and most productive management system, cut all canes back to ground level in late winter (February) before new growth begins. This encourages vigorous new shoots, reduces overwintering pests and diseases, and ensures a reliable autumn crop each year.

For maximum yields, apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring and maintain consistent soil moisture during flowering and fruit development.
