Hello everybody!

I am new to these forums and this is my first posting. I live in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area.

I purchased a thornless semi-erect blackberry plant a few months ago and planted it in full sun. I have been training it onto a trellis and it has been doing very well. Over the last month or so I have begun to notice curled leaves. When opened there is a small white worm or light brown cocoon. I believe it is some type of leaf roller. I have treated the plant twice this month with Organocide and still the pests persist.

I have attempted to post a picture of the opened leaves here.

I really appreciate any input on treating for these pests. I have other suspicions as there is much pine in the area and fairly thick woods bordering my yard.

Thanks so much!

Josh
