Moving rasberry vines

[Ridgerunner]

Last summer was hard on some trees, bushes, and plants. Drought and real high heat will do that. It's just something you live with, like the ice storm a few years ago. Stuff happens.

The first year I had the Heritage, they did not produce much. I think they were just establishing roots. The second year, they produced really well.

OK, I will be patient and leave them alone this year. I prune my 2 roses back to about 18 inches in December. When the bed was bare it sure looked like I had a perfect sunny spot for the berries.

Marshall, I've read on how to prune the berries and it sure sounds complicated! Even your explanation sounds complicated also. I just hope I prune right when the time comes. I'm so worried about that and fear that I'll mess up.

My raspberries get full morning sun and full shade after mid morning/noonish and they love it.

I do not have everbearing raspberries and pruning them is extremely easy, as soon as your picking season is over cut every vine back to the ground that bore a raspberry on it. That vine will not bear again and if left in will usually die back anyway, and just clutter your patch w/ dead or non bearing vines. If you do it just after bearing season (June for me) that gives your berries plenty of time to grow new vines that will bear next year. If you have everbearers ignore everything I just typed and I have no clue how to care for those.

I've had productive raspberries for over 15 years doing it this way.

I got too many bramble berries to put into my garden until some things are done on my north row. Until then I'm potting them up.

We transplant the first week of March here. However, since they come up as canes from the root, chances are if you miss any root.... they're going to pop back up where they were before you wanted them moved.

...and if they come back and grow there and produce, it'd be a good thing!
