Raspberry problem
Can someone tell me why my raspberries which were half developed just dried
up? The berries and stems turned brown in so many bunches but other bunches were fine. It's got me stumped. I have a timer on the sprinkler for each night. |

It's got me stumped. I have a timer on the sprinkler for each night. Did the entire stem with leaves dry up and turn brown or just the fruit? Raspberries and most other members of the Rubus genus are susceptible to a soil fungus, Verticillium wilt. Here's a link that explains the problem in detail with a few, not so great photos: http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/3000/3027.html FWIW, I've seen entire stands of raspberries wiped out by this disease in just matter of days. Do not replant with the same crop. pam - gardengal |

I have a timer on the sprinkler for each night. Is it only the fruiting canes that were affected, or are the new canes (primocanes) also browning? If it is only the fruiting canes, they could have been injured last fall or winter in various ways (tree crickets laying eggs in the canes is one of the stranger injuries I've seen). If the new canes are also dying, it could be verticillium wilt, Phytophthora root rot, or crown gall. Here's a raspberry diagnostic page (watch for line wrap): http://www.hort.cornell.edu/departme...rry/raspeberry parts.htm -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

When we get a few days rain during the middle of fruiting the same thing happens. Mulch to keep the soil from splashing, prune to allow good airflow, plant with good air drainage like roses , and remove spent canes. |
