Title: Can you move Autumn raspberries? If so when?
Post by: kippers garden on October 05, 2009, 19:34:41
Does anyone know if it's possible to move Autumn Bliss raspberries?  I have a load which i planted 5 years ago when i first took over my allotment and they really are in the wrong place.

Does anyone know if i can just dig them up and move them and is now the time to do this?

I will be grateful for any advice...thank you

I'd have thought you could move them any time now. If you do it this time of year they've got planty of time to establish themselves before spring.

It's always a good idea.

I always cut mine down Jan/Feb and usually "thin" them out giving surplus to lottie mates .One or two fail but on the whole many of my "babies" reside happily on other peoples plots.All of these from 5 canes purchased 5-6 years ago. Good luck with digging them right out  ::)methinks you'll be doing just that for several seasons :)
