Raspberry canes

I can't find any berries on it at the moment, so difficult to tell. Are they like long blackberries, or long raspberries? Sorry, bit of ignorance here!

Bigger, longer raspberries.

No risqué responses please! Otherwise I'll set Aunty on you.

In between BHC,

Long, very dark red when ripe, with a very distinct musky flavour, lush.
The thornless blackberries I've ever seen have got very diff leaves, very serrated, delicate things.

I'm going to move my 60ish raspberry canes to a different part of the lottie....would it be detrimental to move them now, or wait until later this year?

Quote from: "blackhobbescat"

I too have come across loads of raspberry canes in our wilderness. How many do you need for a decent crop? We seem to have lots of canes, but no real evidence of many berries this year (only took it on about 4 weeks ago!)

If I feel we have too many for our use, then are they easily transplanted elsewhere?

I have also come across one plant that is smooth like raspberries, but the leaves look more like bramble, and it is more "floppy" like bramble. Can you get smooth bramble, or could it be something else?

Be grateful for any advice you guys can give me.

Could it be tayberries ? For your sake I hope so - they are lovely.

I just got offered a thornless blackberry, with blackberry like leaves(very spiky leaves) but the branches are smooth.
Indeed it could be any of those three, dif fruit will tell, BHC.
And yes, all of those can be easily moved and transplanted once dormant for the winter.
