Planting raspberries....
« on: December 30, 2013, 15:04 »
I got taken to the garden centre today to spend my vouchers and got tempted by some autumn bliss raspberry canes that were 75% off. There are about 4-5 canes in the pot but they all have green leaves on still. Is it ok to plant them like this or should I wait until the leaves die off and the plant goes properly dormant before planting out?

I bought mine a few weeks ago from that garden centre at Carpenders Park and put them in the ground on the same day as the instructions said to get them in ASAP.

I soaked the roots in water for a couple of hours before hand though.

They look healthy enough despite the atrocious weather we've had.

I got mine a few weeks ago and, because the ground wasn't prepared, I separated them into pots so that I can prepare the ground properly before planting them.

If you give them a good soaking you should be able to separate them, so you can plant them asap  ;)
