About two weeks ago I transplanted some canes of Raspberries from my Mothers family farm in Maine to my house in NJ. I know that it is not the right time to do this but with a little care they seem to be budding and I thought all was going to be okay. This A.M. I went out to do my garden tour and noticed saw dust underneath two of the canes (I only have four). A little bug jumped out of the top of the cane but i did not get a good look at it. They are hollowing out the tops of the canes and have dug down several inches. I proceeded to get a piece of pipe cleaner and welding wire and tried to see if I could squash the offending insect. What else can I do? These are very sentimental plants and it would mean a lot to my Mother if I can get these to grow. Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
