Little concerned with my Blackberries and Raspberries

Potomac, MD

My berries have just arrived today from Berries Unlimited. The look quite healthy, with abundant foliage, however, I was a bit concerned that the Triple Crown Blackberry was but a stub of a branch and leaves. Will it grow out soon? What's the issue? As for the two raspberries I believe, there seemed to be a great amount of leaves at the base (Or should I call crown), however, the main trunk/branch seemed quite dead. Is this normal, will leaves grow on it soon? Pardon my ignorance on these subjects. The
Thanks


P.S I attached pictures. Please take a look. The third one was the T C and the others are caroline and heritage.

They all look fine to me. The woody above-ground stems of raspberry act like biennials, so that may explain the leafless stalks and the growth from the base - I assume that's what is concerning you?
