I have three bushes, growing in a deep raised bed between a polytunnel and a garage wall. After one year, they already 5' by 3', and they are severely compromising a Tayberry, and some winter veg. We're going to move them into the communal lawn outside, for everyone to pick. Can/should I prune them now that they have fruited, as they are going to be moved over the winter?

Best to wait till they're dormant.

Pruning I'm not sure about but I personally wouldn't move them until around October...

You can prune now (I always do mine straight after picking the fruit) but I would wait until autumn, do both then and give them a year to recover before fruiting.
But what you can do now is take some cuttings and get them established as an insurance policy.
