Brown raspberry

Me again! I fear my garden has suffered badly from the long long months of rain. I discovered one of my raspberries very brown. Google suggests bacterial or ‘fire’ blight. Is that what this is? And if so how do I handle it? Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think it looks like blight. And raspberries are happy in the rain!

Have you used a weedkiller in that area? It looks like damage from that, or from a nutrient imbalance.

But there are loads of healthy leaves so shouldn't be an issue.

Can you post a zoomed out pic of the whole plant or plants?

@TheSpottedZebra thank you so much for your reply. I got some zoomed out pics! I have actually never fed them 🙈🥴 should I be giving them tomato feed?

Oh also just wanted to add definitely no weed killer used.

Are they in containers? If so, they’ll definitely need feeding

@MereDintofPandiculation no not in containers, but maybe similar, it’s like a flower bed behind that garden wall. Would you recommend tomato food or fish blood and bone meal?

Tomato feed helps flowering and fruiting, blood fish and bone is a general fertiliser for leaf growth.
