| Anybody know from these pictures why my Nova raspberry plant is dying. I first noticed the fruiting canes dying. Not all of them but a couple. Then I noticed a couple of the small new growth canes wilting. I cut out both the fruiting and new green canes but more have died. I cut those out today but I am afraid what ever is wrong is in the root. I have one more plant a few feet away and it appears to be fine. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| I would guess either cane borer or else root rot. The above info will help you identify if it is a borer. If the plants are fairly new, or they have been getting lots of water, root rot is also a possibility. I had that on a couple of canes when I 1st planted about 5 years ago. I made the mistake of overwatering, thinking that I was helping them get started. It did kill a plant or 2, but it didn't spread. |

| Thanks I will check on both. These plants are very new. I just planted them last year. It has rained more this spring this year than it has in a long long time. I haven't had to water one time all year and normally I have to water every other day this time of year. There is water standing in the yard pretty much all the time. Thanks again for the direction. |

| Maybe consider a raised bed? I grow them in ground, and in raised beds. Here's my raised bed, photo taken today. |

| Those are some good looking Raspberries. I only have a couple planted at this time but I plan to expand. I can't find any borer evidence at the base of the plants. I assume it is too much water. The raised beds may be the ticket. Boy if you woud have said I would have too much water in the spring and into June in 2014 after the droughts we had a couple years ago everyone would have laughed. |
