White speckling on Raspberry leaves
Hi! I planted raspberries and blackberries several years ago and have been getting wonderful crops. Last year, my red raspberries plants got a disease. The leaves began to get small yellow spots (like freckles), then got larger brown spots, and then got black spots and curled (looked almost as if they were burnt). I looked it up and believe it is a fungal infection. I cut the raspberries all of the way to the ground in the fall and disposed of the cuttings, but...the disease is back. Is there anything I can do short of pulling out the raspberries? The black raspberries and blackberries did not get the disease, but I am also concerned that they are doomed as well. I pulled off the leaves that were black and curled, but am attaching photos of the freckle-like spots. Thanks! Julie
