Perhaps another route would have been to take cuttings from the desired fruit bushes at the appropriate time of the year of course and then to nurture these into new healthy bushes, then transplanting them into their new site.
Cropping the old ones only, then composting the old bushes; after planting up the new bushes in March. Lots of fruit trees, bushes or plants benefit from not being cropped in their first season. If they are raspberries of course then it is simple cut the canes down once you have removed them from the soil and transplant, autumn fruit raspberries will fruit in that year (of course they should be replanted from October to March). Summer fruiting raspberries will crop the following year.
Is this correct?
