How to Transplant Raspberry Canes

Step 1

Prepare new location by digging 18" wide x 12" deep hole and watering deeply.

Step 2

Trim raspberry canes down to approximately 10-inches.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Plant in new location by placing plant at original soil depth.

Step 5

Gently spread roots and cover with soil. Press into place removing any air pockets.

Step 6

Water deeply. Top up soil as needed. Add mulch to prevent soil from drying out.

Step 7

Keep watered (but not too much). New growth should appear in 2-4 weeks.
