Blackberry leaves going red

[BigJim]

The edges of the leaves on my blackberry turned red, starting with the oldest leaves. Then the leaves get red spots before going completely red. At first I thought they might just have got a bit cold early on but it's affecting the new growth as well. Anyone else had similar or know what I need to do to sort it?



Ta very much.

I posted a similar query about my loganberry, but didn't get any responses. So, while I can't help you, I'd also be interested in responses!

It doesn't look very big - how long has it been planted? The cane with the reddish leaves looks like the original one, it is carrying fruit. You do have a healthy looking new cane growing (the bright green one). This is the cane that will carry fruit next year. They get quite long - do you have any support for it?

It went in during the winter, so it really hasn't grown much (it's Loch Maree btw). The new growth is also starting to get a red tint around the edges.

Hope your loganberry sorts itself out gan heather - have you got the little spots as well?
