A friend just bought a house last fall and planted some Heritage raspberry
canes last fall. She swears she'll get fruit this summer... I think she
won't until next year. Who is right?
Thanks

IIRC, Heritage, is the autumn bearing raspberry which fruits on this
season's canes. I'd say your friend would be right (but won't bet the farm
on that assertion). If I went out to check the raspberries in the fruit
cage which we finished and planted up with 4 varieties of raspberry just
this past summer, I'd be able to say with more certainty. There are
raspberries in there as I noticed them yesterday as I came out from the
chook orchard, but I'd need to go and look at the labels.
