September 14, 2021Q.Help With Small Raspberry Bush
Hello: I am a new gardener and I have a small red raspberry bush that has two large runners(?) which are probably a meter in length each and the rest is pretty very small and stubby. It is currently in a 7 gal clotch container with acidic soil (I have been waiting for the rest of the heatwave to cool off before transferring to a larger container). I want to help the rest of the plant grow. I know it probably won't fruit until next year. Should I trim the runners or let them do their thing? Should I trellis them? Thank you for any advice you can help. I have a small apartment garden so space is limited, but i am doing by best and trying to be more confident about it. Sincerely, Erin

October 13, 2021Q.How Far From Potatoes Can Raspberries Be Safely Planted?
Potatoes were grown in one of my fields in summer of 2020. Now I want to add raspberries. I read that raspberries should not follow potatoes and that they should not be grown nearby. How far from the potato field is safe to plant raspberries? (I can plant downwind from the potatoes)

Certified ExpertA.I would go with the 300 feet, same as the distance from blackberry bushes.

January 27, 2022Q.Raspberry Plant Leaves Turn Brown From Inside On Upper Side Of Leaf Before Spreading To Whole Leaf And Die
Have a problem with my raspberry plants. A small brown section appears on the upper side of the leaf towards the inner middle. The brown section than grows across the whole leaf from the middle to the outside and the plant shrivels up and dies. Not sure what this is and was hoping you could assist. Image 2 - start of the brown discoloring on the leaf Image 1 - brown discoloring spreading on the individual leaf Image 3 - brown discoloring spreading to other leaves Image 4 - brown discoloring spreads and causes plant to shrivel Image 5 - plants dying Note - the brown discoloration does not rub off (eg produce powder)

Certified ExpertA.Check the stems and canes for discoloration, too. It could be spur blight, one of the main diseases of raspberry in NSW.

Certified ExpertA.There may be some soil pathogens left from the previous fruit. You can start a new plot or sterilize the existing soil. Adding compost will help, too.
