Anyone know what this is it is growing on the base of my rasberry bushes. It is cream soft and has black speckles throughout. This is growing on a number of the rasberry bushes. should I just cut them all down and burn?

Just spray it off with some soapy water. It shouldn't affect the raspberry canes, whatever it is!Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Cheers everyone, I have decided to get rid of all the rasps. I will be cutting them down and burning the lot. I have also ordered new rasp canes, they will be delivered around October/ November. Gives me time to prepare a new patch in the allotment for them complete with cage etc.Comment
