Ask the Plant Doctor » Raspberry -- help needed
Robby F. Thanks for you time and great information. I was not sure how much information and space I could use posting the question. The red raspberries are everbearing, planted on a hill side, in clay soil with some compost, been there about four years, have drip irrigation, no sign of disease or fungus on plants, and here in KC, MO we had almost an inch of rain every week all spring, summer, and fall. The grass didn't even go dormant (I hate mowing). In the early spring I usually cut out any dead or injured branches. The blackberries are right next to the Raspberries and had a bumper crop. Should I prune everything to the ground and clean out all the debris? Any spray or fungicides you would recommend? I appreciate your help and suggestions, Dr. Y
Last year my raspberries bloomed and then the flowers withered. Zero fruit last year. This happened throughout my 8' by 15' patch. This patch has produced abundant fruit in the past. Any idea what happened and remedy. Thanks, Dr. Y
