Notes
'Heritage' raspberry (Rubus idaeus 'Heritage') is a shrub for food gardens, pollinator gardens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is an everbearing red raspberry with white blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its arching stems reach 3 to 6 feet tall.
Pairs well with Empire apple, Garlic chives, and Flowering quince.
