Autumn raspberries but moving in summer

[PensionPuzzle]

After some advice on what best to do with my autumn raspberries, established them last year and they did quite well really.

We are moving over the summer so I don't know if I can just take them back to canes, dig them up and store them to plant when we've moved, or if I should leave them as they are and transplant when we move? I know they won't fruit this year either way but would like to keep them going if poss as they are sort of sentimental. But I don't really want to move any more plants than I have to as actual plants, my favourite dahlias will be in pots this year but that will be about all that I want tool move 'as is' if poss.

I've got some summer fruiting too but will leave them be and just dig up to move I think?

I would pot them up in containers now while their dormant and then you can plant them out whenever you want after moving. They'll be fine temporarily (a year or two) in large containers I've even had a crop in a 40-litre trug from 5 canes before. Digging them up in the summer could work but would be more risky and they'll sulk more. They are very resilient though so either way you'll probably be ok.

It sounds like you're moving when they will be tall, so you'll have 5o decide between moving tall canes, or leaving them. I don't think you can keep cutting them down throughout the year, or leave them as dry sticks and expect them to live!

I'd dig them up now and put them in a trough, accept it will be a floppy mess and move that. Then plant themnext winter.

Thanks both, I think I'll pot them up as suggested and worst case trim them up a bit at the time for ease of moving, they'll survive that as long as I only take peripheral bits off during the growing season, I guess?

You shouldn't need to take bits off when growing, but it probably wouldn't matter if you did!
Maybe in a big bot with a big stick in it or a obelisk, then just lash them to that for ease of moving the pot.
