| I don't know what the fruit problem is. Did the berries form that way or are they mostly eaten or were they stuck hard to the cap and were difficult to pick off? Also, Japanese beetles are being blamed for much on this forum recently. or-Some caterpillars are eating the leaves, probably at night. |

| Thanks for the input larry. the berries seemed to start to form normally. 1. there are areas where the leaves are green and large but chewed to pieces. i have noticed many more grasshoppers this year compared to normal. 2. there are arease of leaves as pictured that are smaller and very dry and brown around the edges- the fruit is always shrunken and dried as if a flame had been placed below each fruit. 3. lastly, in other sections- the fruit looks as if it is perfect, except for one small section has a few druplets that are dried and white. i have checked extension websites on pests but everything sounds the same and there are no pictures to help with identification. |

| Look for info about raspberry root rot. |

| could this be root rot?? i water them much less than last year AND it is much drier. I drip irrigate them. does this look like raspberry root rot to you? |

| Have you gently brushed back the mulch to see if the ground is uniformly moist and that the roots are still vigorous? Sometime drip irrigation doesn't moisten all the roots so it is possible that the branch that dried up wasn't getting water. Just a thought. :) |

| JEan, I looked at root rot and I cant imagine this could be it. the soil is mostly dry on the top 1". we have horrible hot wind and the patches get plenty of ventilation. My primocaines have no dark rotton look at the base. I intentionally underwater a little to avoid this. MAPLEBIRCH: |
