I grow a row of Malling Admiral in a polytunnel and over the past 3 years and have not had a problem. This year however I have a problem with the new growth for next year’s canes, there is abundance in one half of the row and hardly any in the other half. Can I transplant some of this young growth so that they will fruit next year?

If so at what stage, at the moment they are about 4 inches high.
