Do it in the autumn; October would be ideal. I hope they fruit well; when I did that on a new plot they turned out to be riddled with virus and a total waste of space.

hi Robert how would i check to see if they are full of virus they look good at the mo nice and green and there has been some fruit there left unpicked

If the fruit's OK, they haven't got virus. When they get it the fruit almost disappears; mine had a very few really tiny ones, and they spread rampantly.
