Raspberry Question #873140

Asked June 14, 2024, 3:40 PM EDT

Why is this raspberry lacking color in an area? Round up was sprayed next to the raspberry bushes. Could that be the cause?

Hi Sharon!

The white druplets aren't caused by roundup - but that is a good guess, herbicide damage can cause white foliage on affected plants. These white druplets are likely caused by sunscald or excessive hot temperatures.
