Leaf Curl on a blackberries?

Hi Guys-

I noticed this on my blackberries (Chester I believe) this week. See pic below. Google Image Searching though the web, it looked like a leaf curl type of thing, but I didnÂt think that was usually associated with blackberries. I found this:

"RASPBERRY LEAF CURL Symptoms on Erect Blackberries. Leaf curl is rare and unimportant on blackberries. Some cultivars show curl symptoms similar to those on red and yellow raspberries (Figure 1). Other cultivars may be infected symptomless carriers of the virus."

The rest of the two plants look great. This is their 3rd or 4th year and they are covered with berries. I only saw this on one of the two plants, and it was only in a small area.

Is this raspberry leaf curl? Could it have come from my many cultivated raspberry beds? Or the wild blackberries / raspberries which arenÂt too far away? (CanÂt do anything about that). Should I cut out the bad looking leaves? Or spray something? Or is this something that I just donÂt need to worry about.

Thanks,

-Glenn
