Certified ExpertA.Hand removal, hoeing on the surface, and placing mulch around your raspberries to smother weeds are the best ways to control this infestation.

It is difficult to use herbicides to control Viola tricolor among raspberries- both are broadleaf plants, and are susceptible to the same types of herbicides. It may be possible to use spot treatments of glyphosate, but there is a risk that they will harm the raspberry plants.

April 20, 2017A.I know this problem well, I only planted Johnny Jump Ups once, 7 years ago!
The good news is they will not harm your Raspberry plants. You can easily pull up the little plants and doing so before they go to seed will help keep them in control.
This is the safe method to remove weeds.

18070Q.Red Raspberry Canes
The top portions of some of the new growth canes are wilting and dying. It seems that there are thin light brown lines girdling the canes. We have noticed two "pencil thin" lines about an inch to an inch and a half apart and the leaves above them wilt. The canes break off easily at these lines. Any ideas?

Certified ExpertA.We grow those at the garden center where I work in Wisconsin and have to water them everyday, sometimes twice a day on very hot days when we haven't had clouds or rain for awhile. Our regional Bailey nursery salesman said the soil for them should always be moist. Plants in clay pots can also dry out quicker. Maybe try some fine mulch or the insides of diapers to help retain soil moisture
