Moving Raspberry canes now...!!!!!
« on: June 27, 2011, 17:57 »
As there is another plot holder moving and seeing he has to leave the plot in "as he took it on" condition his fruit canes will be made homeless very soon.....so I have brought em off him.

I have read that spring or autumn winter is best to trim back canes and transplant but I am snookered and will end up having to try and re plant these canes which are fruiting right now,
but wondered if I transplant em all if they would carry on fruiting this season or whether the
transplant upset would just kill this years growth and I might just be better off getting what fruit I can off em prior to cutting em back and re planting them .

I have also brought his Gooseberry bushes which are in mid fruit as well...so have the same problem with them as well.

If you water the plants thoroughly 24 hours before moving them, dig the destination holes before you start, take as big a rootball as possible, and move them as quickly as possible, I don't see a particular reason why they should die off.  You might lose the fruit this year from the shock, though.

Make sure you water them thoroughly for the rest of this year and also if we get a dry winter.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Don't see whay that should be the case. If allotment 'changeover' is in September  you'll be able to leave this year's fruiting canes in situe to be harvested/dug out/tidied up etc. before the new tennent takes occupancy, and only transplant a selection of the healthiest suckers now.

In our case the guy is moving with his family down to cornwall,so HE wants to have his plot cleaned and sorted prior to moving so were talking july/aug so Ill have to re plant em as soon as he digs em up and lays em at my shed door.

The new tennant will be getting a clear site and I want the fruit canes/bushes on my plot having brought them so there is no confusion as to "whos" they are.

besides there are about 7 other hawks waiting in the wings with their beady eyes ready to pounce if I dont get crackin..... :ohmy:

Just a guess on my part - thought that the 'rules' were pretty much constant over the country, but obviously that's not the case.

Don't you just love 'em

I`ve never heard of this before, a vacating plotholder having to remove established fruit bushes.

You would have thought the new tenant would be more than happy to take over the plot with a fruit section ready to harvest.
I`m left handed, what`s your excuse?

Fair comment, gandan57.

Our outgoing tenants are required to leave the plot in the same condition in which they found it (or better!) in order to retain their deposit.  But that's to do with weeds rather than what's being grown within the terms of the tenancy  :)
