raspberry rascal

A few years ago I planted 3 different raspberry  plants. One died right away, one died a few months later I believe both because of a gopher.  For some reason one survived. 2024 we got quite a few wonderful berries. Last year not so much, I don't remember what kind it is, so I don't know how to prune it. It's still alive, and has sent babies in my raised bed.  This bed is a hugel beet. The bottom is 1/2" hardware cloth.  I would love to remove them from the bed and plant them in a better spot.  The bed itself isn't very deep. what do you think, will it survive?

They are similar to strawberries in that there should be one piece of the plant that sent up the shoot, that is connected back to the main plant. Unlike strawberries, it happens underground and when the shoot is 6"-8" high, it should be a successful transplant.

Dig the shoots root system up and cut off from the main plant. I leave 4" of the main root but that is just what I do. Maybe it should be more or less, I don't know.

The mesh in the bottom of the bed may make this difficult unless you are willing to cut out some of the mesh.

You could wait and, more than likely, have more coming up not in the bed which would be easier to dig up. I let all of our blackberry and raspberry shoots, that I don't want to make bushes, get about 16" high and cut them off and feed to the meat rabbits. They love them.
