When Should Raspberries Be Transplanted?
The very best time to transplant raspberry plants is in early Spring or in late Fall /Autumn, when the plants are in a "dormant" state. Due to the fact that the plants are not actively growing during this time of dormancy, they are more equipped to manage the stress associated with the division process.

Also to know is, when can I transplant autumn raspberries?

If you want to move them to an entirely new spot, rather than letting them wander, do this from November to March, when all the leaves have dropped and they are dormant. Raspberries do best in soils that are fertile, moisture-retentive and slightly acidic; they particularly dislike waterlogged or chalky soils.

Also, how do you transplant wild raspberry bushes? Trim raspberry canes down to approximately 10-inches. Dig up plant and roots working at least 12-inches from plant all the way around and place in bucket. It's fine to trim away longer roots. Plant in new location by placing plant at original soil depth.

Correspondingly, how do you dig up a raspberry plant?

Cut straight into the soil between a sucker and its parent raspberry plant, placing the cut about 4 inches from the sucker's canes and severing the connecting runner and roots. Use a spade for the task. Loosen the soil, and gently pull the canes until the sucker, its runner and roots are free of the soil.

How do you keep raspberries from spreading?

Use a shovel to dig a trench at least 8 inches deep around the raspberry plants that you want to keep contained and insert a root barrier. Fill the soil in around the barrier, leaving at least a half-inch of the barrier above the soil line so the raspberry plant's roots won't grow over the barrier.
