Black Raspberry problems

8 years ago

Hello,

We went camping for the week and when we came back, I noticed that our black raspberry did not look healthy at all. Some of the older growth looked dead (leaves brown) and the newer canes have leaves that are turning yellow. I planted it in spring '17, and it has been great all summer providing us with a ton of fruit in late June and early July. I'm really worried about it now, but I do not know what to do! I've attached some photos below. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

This doesn't appear to be the case (as it looks like entire plant is affected), but you are aware that previously fruited canes die off this time of year?

I had thought that might be the case with the previously fruited canes, but I was really concerned about this years growth and why those canes are now turning yellow...

Yeah, that's a problem, but one I have no experience with. My raspberries are eagerly migrating from their patch into the lawn.

Dang it! I have them planted next to Heritage raspberries that are doing FABULOUS and going crazy! The black raspberries were doing great up until about a week or so ago. Thanks for the thoughts though!

I can say that my purple raspberries look more vigorous than my blacks. Course, I'm stretching the zone (south) just a mite. However, mine are clearly not turning yellow. Hope someone else has insight...most cane fruits are pretty tough.

I can't remember the specifics, but I was always told to not plant the red and black ones near each other because of a disease problem.
