Pretty,
large, lemon-yellow colored fruit that ripens at the same time as Heritage.
This variety is proving to be highly productive and consistently
highly-flavored. Its appearance, size, and sweet flavor make it a popular
choice for the fresh market and backyard gardeners. Anne was released by the
University of Maryland breeding program.
Sister seedling to Autumn Bliss, Autumn Britten has an early season and ripens two to three weeks
earlier than Heritage. Fruit is of excellent quality. It is very large, firm, conic shaped, red in
color, and flavorful. The plant has upright growth and is moderately vigorous, requiring closer spacing.
It is more productive than Autumn Bliss at each picking. 
Rated
highest for health! Caroline is a highly flavored raspberry that ripens two
weeks earlier than Heritage. It responds to warmer temperatures with earlier
ripening. Fruit is large, red and firm. Caroline is very productive and has
a long harvest season. It has vigorous growth habits and produces yields as
much as or higher than Heritage.
Released by the New York Experimental Field Station in the 1960s, Heritage is tall, vigorous and hardy, with erect canes that produce a high yield. Heritage plants are sturdy and sucker prolifically.
The fruit is medium-large, attractive, firm, flavorful, and of excellent quality. Heritage continues to be the
standard among primocane fruiting raspberries. Its fruit is good for both fresh use and processing, and is a
reliable choice for home gardeners.
