Blackberry Bushes

Question

I have been growing blackberry bushes outside my fence. This year it looks like the bushes are smaller and the leaves are brown. What should I do? Every summer we get delicious berries, but this year seems we aren’t lucky.

Answer 1

It sounds like the plants may have a fungus, which would reduce their ability to fruit. Try treating the plants with a fungicide and this should help clear it up.
