66762Q.Spots on blackberry leaves
We have been seeing these reddish brown spots on the leaves of some of our blackberry plants. The edges of the leaves get brown and dry as well. What is this and how do we correct it? We have been using a 3 in 1 organic fungicide/insecticide spray every week for the past few weeks. Temperatures have been very hot and humid for the last month. Blackberries are watered with drip irrigation but perhaps not enough.

riverside california zone 9Q.seedless blackberries
I have been growing the blackberries for about 20 years. Several years ago I noticed their growth pattern changing. Branches becoming longer, some of the fruit with dry seeds. This year they grew extremely vigorous, and most of the fruit either did not set, turned brown, or so many seeds that were brown they were not good to eat. I found on your site that they had a disease and needed to be completely torn out. Is this so , and can I replant in the same place?

Certified ExpertA.This does seem like a fungal disease. You must first get rid of the disease before you can replant in that area, or they will just keep passing the disease on. Here is an article that will help: http://oksusag.okstate.edu/uploaded_files/SmithBlackberriesDisease.pdf

Warden, 98857Q.thornless blackberries
There are no berries this year. Plants are 8 years old and have supplied abundance supply of berries. About 10 feet apart I have planted raspberries. The raspberries plants are 3 years old and no berries. Would these raspberry plants effect the blackberry plants?
