We had serious size problems on our Heritage late season raspberry crop for several years in a row so we eliminated this variety starting with 2004 sales. Heritage was a great tasting raspberry but unfortunately matured in the hottest part of our St. Louis summers (mid July thru early September).
In 2008, we will have 900 feet of Nova and 600 feet of Prelude ( June fruiting varieties that usually produce a modest crop of fall raspberries in September and October) but I doubt that the increased quantity will be enough for us to open normally. All picking information on our fall raspberry crop is communicated via our email-newsletter -- click here to sign up. For 2008, I am expecting the Prelude to be available beginning in late August and the Nova to become available in mid September.

Our golden yellow fall raspberries, Anne, never seemed to recover from the Easter 2007 freeze and were removed in the spring of 2008.
