How To Grow It
: Create a hedgerow with canes 2 feet apart and rows 10 feet apart. Water well. Fertilize your raspberries twice a year, once in early spring before new growth and again in late May. 2-3 lbs of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 100 ft of row for each application. Keep weed-free, watered when necessary and pruned regularly to maintain a quality crop. AFTER CARE: For a summer & fall crop prune back weak and tall canes to 5’ early in the spring and then after the first harvest, remove the canes that produced fruit. Heritage may also be mowed or cut to the ground in March or April for an early August crop.
