I must admit those stems look dead @Dwrgi , but that is what most Raspberries look like, but in winter/spring when they should be planted. Now summer fruiting ones should be a metre tall at least, and your variety will make 1.5 to 2.5 metres in height and up to 1 metre wide. It will need to be at the back of a bed with wall/fence support or a frame support if in the middle of a bed. It will take over the whole area in the picture if it starts growing, and will not do well in a pot, as its not a dwarf variety. So if you want to move it give it an area a half metre square to grow in now, but be prepared to give it more later.
Thanks @purplerallim, im in the process of opening another veg bed that's backing on to a fence so i will move it there asap. I might even plant it against the fence so it has no competition and has more room. Plus the fence to support it since its very very windy here, Just goes to show it pays to ask around 🤗, thanks everyone.
Suggest that when you move them check that there aren't 5 stems tied tightly together at the base, just above the roots. I bought a pot of Autumn Bliss raspberries and when I came to plant them out that's what I found although I expected that might be the case. The tape was covered in soil and had I not realised or been a novice gardener I might have planted them in a bunch and they probably wouldn't have done very well.
Thanks so much Uff, i just moved the raspberries and lo and behold. Just like you said, there were 5 stems tied together with tape, the stems actually looked as if a little mould was growing where they had been joined. Ive divided and moved them now, im crossing all my fingers that they will now recover. I did scratch one stem (just enough) and saw that it still had green in the middle.
