Does my raspberry plant look OK?

Hi there new member/novice gardener here!
Dabbling in container vegetable and fruit growing...attached is a picture of a bare root raspberry cane I planted a few weeks ago. Is the shoot coming from the base a sucker and do I remove it? It seems to be the only bit of life showing at present! Thank you.

 

Welcome to GC @Leanne2511 ..no that's not a sucker it's a new shoot for this year,do you know if it's a summer fruiting rasp or Autumn fruiting..should tell you on the label.
I find container fruit growing more difficult as they need to be kept well watered and fed ,I use a good mulch of manure.

 

Thank you so much - I'll leave it well alone just glad it's making progress. I have a patio and lawn with no ground to plant anything so unfortunately container growing is my only option! I have bought some large grow bag 'sacks' from wilko though that hold lots of soil so may upgrade to one of these when it gets well established if that would be better

Also - not sure what type of raspberry plant this is, picked it up from poundstretcher for a couple of pounds and threw away the box after planting it!

 

I'd stick with keeping it in a pot rather than grow bags and use John Innes compost no 3.

 

There are some raspberries that are grown in containers eg Raspberry Ruby Beauty - a Dwarf Summer Fruiting Raspberry
grow bags are ok but leave it in the pot insome good compost
I am growing my veg and fruits in containers and they doing well despite the weather
