Raspberries

Hi all,
I have a small veg patch in the garden and usually just grow salad, beans, chard, that sort of thing.

However, I impulsively planted two sets of raspberry canes earlier this year, (Autumn Bliss and All Gold varieties) They're about to fruit which is very exciting. I have decided however, that i would prefer them to be elsewhere as I didn't realise how tall they'd be and they block quite a bit of light elsewhere in the 'patch'.. I'd actually like them to be in containers if possible ( I have two large 'trug' type containers i could use and a good place to put them).

just wondering if it's even possible to transplant raspberry canes? if so, when should I do it? And will these varieties transplant to a container happily?

Sorry lots of questions but I didn't do my research first annoyingly and haven't found the exact advice i need online.

if there are any raspberry experts out there I'd be grateful for some help!

In my experience, raspberry canes are pretty tough! Probably better to do it in the winter though.

Thank you. I think I'm supposed to cut the canes back at some point anyway so maybe I should do it then.

Good to hear they're tough - hopefully they'll survive any mauling I give them!

Autumn fruiting varieties tend to be cut back in February, so maybe then?
