If you get a move on, you'll probably get away with it.

Try and take as much soil as possible with the root.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

It will certainly set them back for a year. I dont think they will collapse and die. they are weeds. I am still clearing the suckers the roots throw after digging out the main plant two years ago.  :)
One kid is handful. Two kids.... Example for chaos theory. Hats off to my mum who managed three...

Mine have all got several inches of new growth so I wouldn't risk it.

Weeds is right! I sunk a 'wall' to stop them going in one direction but they've just moved sideways and I now have new plants coming up three feet from the parent!!

I was given my raspberries at totally the wrong time of year, (July), when a fellow plot holder was thinning his out.

I now have a 32' x 6' hedge of them, so that's testament to the fact that they can be moved outside the recommended times.

Would agree with the "weed" spreading, originally planted  6 autumn variety canes 24 months ago now have at least 60 this year!  :ohmy:
