Transplanting Raspberries
Whilst clearing down the blackcurrants, I found
entwined several long (5ft+) summer fruiting raspberry canes, spread away from my main row by aboy 4ft. As I would like some more canes in the row, can I move these as they are and expect them to fruit next year or should I move and cut down in the autumn so they will shhot next year for cropping the year after. I prefer the former approach and may well try a couple even if strongly advised against it!!! -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |

A previous thread suggested that autumn fruiters can fruit in summer if the canes are not cut off to ground level in autumn, but left to fruit in summer, then cut them. Baz |

I tried that a few years ago and getting a crop in the first year seemed to have no long term ill effects. The books tend to talk about raspberries being surface rooted ; be prepared to go well down to dig them up. |

Mainly because my autumn fruiting ones have spiny stems, and the summer fruiting ones smooth stems. That's interesting to know. I'd be interested to hear other people agree that this is the case, cos I've not heard it before. |

The first 8 minutes is worth watching:- http://gardenerscorner.co.uk/forum/t...-please.52722/ He's from California so Fallbearing is Primocane and Everbearing is Florocane. Your question was about moving plants rather than pruning. I move my plants between November and March, providing there is no frost in the ground. |
