I transplanted first year raspberry canes into a new raised bed. After one week, they all look dead. Do I pull them out and try again, or will they grow next spring?
I’ve found you need to water the absolute bejesus out of transplants.
I have 2 sets of raspberry transplants from 2 weeks ago, some canes look sorta like yours, others are still crisp and green. Might be the luck of the transplant draw / root condition.

When I transplanted raspberries the stalks came looking very dead. A few of the stalks revived and grew leaves but the vast majority of new growth came from the roots. If I were you I’d keep watering them for a few weeks and look for new growth from the roots.

Not sure where you are but early spring is the time to transplant raspberries. However, you have nothing gain by pulling them. Water, top dress with some chicken manure and keep your fingers crossed.
