    Moving raspberry canes

    I have some raspberry canes on my allotment that I need to move and was going to do it today as the leaves had started changing colour (and I am growing biodynamicly and today is a fruit day), I thought it'd be best to move them before it got to cold so as they have a chance to settle in a bit before the ground freezes but the warm weather has bought them back into flower again, so is it safe for me to move them without killing them?

    The leaves stall look like they are going to fall of any day now though

    Not really an answer to your question, more a 'me too, and fingers crossed answer'.

    I moved some a couple of weeks ago, summer fruiting ones, and the buds have burst into leaf. The old leaves had all droppped off. As I have cut them back to a foot tall, I wasn't anticipating fruit next year, so I'm taking it as a positive that they are still alive, and fingers crossed for the winter. I will have to move the autumn fruit ones as well soon for a garden revamp, but I am leaving those as long as possible as I am still picking them.
    I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

      You need to move perennial plants, like raspberries, when they are dormant. So, any time November - Feb really

      Ideally not when they are actively growing

        I moved some today - rogue suckers that had gone out of my nice neat row. I put their bottoms firmly back in line. Pull em out - pop em in. Water in. They looked happy enough as I walked away. Put my strawberry runner plants in today too. Moved a currant bush. Planted honeyberries. They all had a mulching too after weeding.

            Thanks for the help, I will wait until they have finished what they are doing before moving them. Will give me a bit of extra time to make the bed extra nice for them (e.g. chicken proof) as well
