My raspberries didn’t bud above about 2 feet off of last year’s canes. This section of plants has done very well the past few years, I cut off the dead canes and thinned to a few canes per root at end of winter. Is this disease? Winter kill? Not enough water?
Interesting, I always thought aphids only really were interested in leaves. Also my other patch next to this one is unaffected (different variety)
aphids suck the juice out of a plant, they do it pretty much all over especially on thinner plants. what worked for me is very regular watering during the months of may / june. if you still have problems you may wanna go deeper into remedies
It has been a rather dry spring. I don’t usually need to water my raspberries much, but might have to start. Climate change is a bitch
the aphids suck juice out of the plant, plus the water can kill them. doubly whammy for fixing it
