I have had to dig up and destroy one of my raspberry canes as I am fairly certain that it had yellow leaf virus. Other canes are showing signs of the same problem. Has anyone experienced this and are there any solutions other than destroying the whole lot and starting again?

Was it yellow leaves all over the plant or just the lower leaves?

Yellow border around some of the leaves - top to bottom. From the Hessayon Fruit Expert book I diagnosed this as Yellow Leaf virus.

Thanks Cloud - maybe I'll try leaving them. I guess I have nothing to lose.
