   I keep hearing Heritage Raspberry being recommended and I wonder why. 
At one time I grew Autumn Bliss, Dinkum, Polana and Heritage (all 
two-crop-per-year raspberries) and Heritage was the poorest performer.  In 
fact it performed so poorly, by comparison, that I grubbed it out after a 
few of seasons.  Berry size and total production was less than all others, 
including my 5 varieties of summer berries.  When I left it bear a second 
crop, it failed to ripen before my first killing frost.
   I would recommend it for anyone who has summer berries and wants to 
extend their crop because Heritage ripened for me at about the time when the 
summer raspberries were almost finished.
