Raspberry Virus Symptoms: Mottled, Stunted Canes

Yellow, mottled, curled, or puckered leaves on 'Heritage' raspberries suggest a virus complex (raspberry mosaic, leaf curl, tobacco ringspot). Symptoms mimic herbicide injury.

Management

No cure. Remove and destroy infected plants, roots and all. Viruses spread via sap-sucking insects.
