| I already asked about moving a plum tree but I stupidly bought raspberry canes before realising I would have to move . can I plant them in big tubs until I move eg in 6/12? |

| IIRC they do OK if uprooted and you keep the root-ball. You can plant them in tubs though but is that worth it? |

I seem to recall that raspberries are woodland plants and consequently prefer a cool root run, therefore they never perform particularly well in a pot.
Having said that, I potted up several canes of Autumn Bliss last May which were totally neglected all summer. They didn't fruit last year, but I'm not surprised as they hardly got any water. I have just planted them out in the garden and they look healthy and are sending up new shoots. I reckon they are pretty robust.
I agree with weatherlawyer though. I'd be tempted to plant them out now and just dig them up when you are ready to move. You might get a decent crop of fruit that way as well. |
