One of my bushes is producing fruit like this:

What's causing this? Will it spread to other plants?


It's called Blossom end rot. It's caused by the soil drying out esp. as the
fruit is forming. There is no treatment, that fruit is toast, but if you
keep the compost moist the rest should be OK. Probably a good idea to remove
any like that and the plant will put it's energies into the remaining/yet to
come fruits.
